Default Focus rear suspension - Estate vs Saloon/Hatch

Hi all,
What is different about the estate suspension (Mk1,2,3) - it all looks the same?

Is it just the bushes that are different/stronger?

Cheers

The Estate rear doesn't have shock absorber towers.
Shocks are mounted at an angle under the floor.
