Default AU2 XR suspension rubber components standard?

Hello all,

Are the front suspension rubber items in the XR range same as standard or are they unique to the XR tickford range? Eg sway bar bushes.
I recall reading that E series XRs had different spec rubber bushes in respect to handling characteristics and am wondering if AU continued the trend.
cheers

Bill.

I'm not sure if the part numbers from Ford are different for the originals, but a quick look at the superpro site for aftermarket bushes doesn't seem to differentiate. I think they're firmer bushes than standard anyway.

Differences are limited to whether you have IRS or not. There's also a difference in the size of the swaybars between the XRs and the others, so different bush sizes for those.

Thanks Ken,

a look at the Mackay Rubber catalogue confirms this.
