Title: 2001 COBRA SVT REAR ONT & REAR DIFF BUSHES
Post by: Giffo on July 29, 2015, 02:46:29 pm

Hi all, I am after front and rear diff bushes or my 2001 Mustang Cobra (IRS)
As the Aussie dollars is crap are they available in Australia anywhere?
Bought a suspension rubber kit believing they were included. Got the kit today from CJ Pony at a big cost. The diff bush kit was not included. (After being told they were)

Cheers

If I get a chance, I'll photograph what I have - see if you can identify the missing items.

ok - had my rear-end rebuilt today - went from 3.27 to 3.73, new bearings, new clutches, bushes replaced.
Here are the bushes from the front of the IRS (used) and the bushes from the subframe (not replaced). The bush from the rear of the IRS isn't shown as they have to be cut out (I should have photographed it first - sorry) - however. according to the invoice, they were pretty cheap when I got them a few years back:

The front pair of bushes were ok, but they replaced them anyway. The rear bush was pretty flogged out (the one that they melted & cut out) so I'll let you know if I notice any change in driving experience (other than the fact that 1st is now normal, 6th is now 1,950rpm at 100kph) relating to the IRS being more tightly controlled.

That is pretty cheap. Look forward to the result. I have all my bushes now. USA imported. $250 US$
But that is all suspension bushes except subframe.
Did AMP Performance have in stock or import for you? Have to check them out.

My suspension bushes all replaced. NO CLUNK. Feels so much better.
Just need to replace cross axis bushes on IRS later.
