K-Cross Member Bushing(s) ?

[Will Belancic]

Has anyone replaced the bushing(s) in the rear K-Cross Member on their cars? I have 1g Tsi Awd . . . I have searched far and wide & keep running into dead ends. I have been to serveral FORD web sites, that have replace the K-Cross Member bushings and the entire section...but found nothing for the Talon's. Anyone out there that might be able to help, that would be really GREAT Thanks, Will

Will, I think Rob at Mofugas is having some urathane bushings made. I am not sure if they are ready for sale yet.

Lowell Foo at http://www.lr-racing.com/main.htm replaced his with custom delrin (hard as hell) bushings. He didn't think the results were worth the effort when I talked to him about it. The hard delrin made it a royal PITA to line everything back up. Have a couple people to help you.

Oh one more thing, it's much easier to put in the entire assembly (diff, rear brace, and front crossmember) then it is to do it bit by bit.

I will have to contact him and see what the best solution would be.
Check out the below link, it has pictures explaining the exact bushing.
