SilentBlock Rear Axle

[cole tricle]

Morning,

Apparently I have a rear SilentBlock KO.
I have contact with one of the Ford's Garage in Spain, and surprise, they said that the silent block can`t be sell it separately and they hay to change the Rear Axle with all these parts, total cost of the reparation is 2.300 € and of course and I have to pay the total amount, even with the car in guarantee.

So, first of all, It is possible that Ford has not sell SilentBlocks separately?, because it's sound a little bit weird.....
And the second one, I have to paid the reparation 2.3k € because Ford don't sell SilentBlocks separately?

It's hard to believe that it will be normal.

SilentBlocks (bushings) are available. Search the internet for "silentblocks de las barras estabilizadoras".
Or maybe this?

Nice job Farkel… Assistance like that is why I love this site. Our European brothers don’t have access to all the goodies that we do over here.

Thanks. I try to give back when I can. This site has been very helpful for me. When I didn't know what "SilentBlock" meant, I googled it and found the suggestion that I posted.

One more thing, Javi - if Ford says this is not warranty work, you don't have to have Ford do the job. A good local mechanic might save you some €€.

Its true, ford will only sell you an entire new subframe, and not one or two single bushings if you have a bad differential bushing. If your rear lower control arm bushing is bad, you need an entire new rear lower control arm if you want a Ford bushing.

if you have one bad bushing, chances are most of them are close to failing too.

there are a couple places that sell OEM-like bushing replacements. Not sure I can dig up the first reference but MMR just posted another option in this subforum today.

if you are ok with stiffer, noisier bushings there are MANY options from the aftermarket retailers.
