rear diff bushes

[markdav744]

when i had my service done at the factory they told me the rear diff bushes needed doing. im wondering whether this is a job for the dealer, or whether any capable mechanic can do it. has anyone had theres done. cheers

I think it depends on which of the bushes need changing. There’s one that ‘s very difficult to get at, and apparently can need to be cut/drilled out. I went through several on my Tuscan but fortunately they were all changed under warranty. One of them lasted less than a month!!

I expect a dealer will know exactly how to get the tricky one out, so it may be worth finding out if that one needs changing before making a decision about where to take it. Why didn’t that factory so them when they serviced it?

factory said it was a six hour job, so i guess it will be the tricky one, typical, i had my service on the wednesday. they stopped service department the following monday.
