Jeez,
Haven't driven it yet but wow,it's raised the car up to where I remember the car sitting before, had been baffling me for ages as it seemed to be lowering it self over time...

 

I've got a solid mount on mine as well, makes a huge difference to the back end, better than the poly ones but you do get some diff whine through the body.

 

Will it not eventually twist the boot floor ?

 

Haven't heard that zippy....

 

I hope its not to harsh.

 

hi
did you fit solid mounts on the front aswell

mark

 

No Mark, you mean eng mounts ????

 

hi
no on the front of the beam
mark

 

No, poly , is it recommended to go solid big doughnuts too ???

 

I wouldn't run half solid half bushed ,the bushes allow some movement so will crack the part that's mounted solid in time

mark

 

There is someone on here who makes the alloy beam mounts, sound like a good product

 

we do lol

mark

 

I wouldnt poly bush or solid mount anything on the rear of a cossie

 

hi jay
why just from a noise point of view

mark

 

Because it of noise also they handle worse but people dont realise this as the bushes they replace are that fucked a cotton reel will feel better or the other reason is cost the poly kits are so much cheaper than the original bearings

So unless someone buy's your nice beams then fit the uprated diff hanger and the rest should be fords stuff

 

oh yes I agree about the arm bushes jay the ford ones are the best

mark

 

The problem is trail arm bushes are nla from Ford well one of the ends is anyway, GGR do replacement ones but don't know how good they are


Luciano

 

So how much are the alloy doughnuts mark, still have the spherical bearings fitted

 

When you say uprated/solid diff hanger do you mean one of these?


I've heard mixed views on these things If they turn out to be shit I'll be gutted as I had a perfect standard one but sold it on the bay

Luciano

 

Think he means a solid one as in no bushing in it.
Here's mine, made it myself.

 

Don't worry Jimmy they're brilliant mate. Solid mounts help too but transmit nvh into the cabin.

 

There ford item which GGR have made mate you wont go wrong

That mount or the one MSD do is spot on you need a little give in it and solid ones will just shake the car to death and will be horrid to drive

 

ah I see

That good new fellas cheeRS

Luciano

 

Charlie I fitted a rear poly diff hanger and it is miles better than the shonkey ford bush/mount.

 

nice 1 dude I'm starting to feel better about them


Luciano

 

I was going to work one morning and overtook a car.I couldnt believe how well the car handled.It didnt feel sloppy at all.

My rear arm bushes are srandard cossie bushes but my beam bushes are poly.I think my car handles ok for a 25 year old set up.

 

Lad,

It's the silver type I got and not the solid solid type...lol

Was thinking of making up a solid solid one for the trackshed tho....

 

Just should have measured the solid bushed one I fitted for locating holes on diff so I could make solid solid one...hole will dictate ride height or geometry to some extent I presume...???

 

Link as requested to beam hanger , page also has solid solid version...
