Campo 869 Posted March 23, 2014 Hi all, Am going to put a e series lsd into my xf, just wondering whats involved in making it fit? Have to put an ef bush in the diff end of the lower trailing arm? What about the brakes/handbrake? And does an EF sedan tailshaft go straight in? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcfly94 169 Posted March 23, 2014 If you've got an ef diff youll have to do some modifying to accompany the ef/el handbrake to suit the x-series, ea-ed handbrake style. Cant remember, but I think its like adding brackets or something on the diff or car. Easier if you have an eb-ed diff as you just use the rear section of the handbrake from an eb/ed. Tailshaft goes straight in. 1 revhead reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adrianphu123 73 Posted March 24, 2014 I out one out of an DC LTD apparently. I was under the impression that i would have to change the lower rear trailing arm bushes too, but I didnt have to? Just compare the spacing on the E series differential you are using to your old one. Upper bushes should be exactly the same. The tailshaft is different to the XF one, as the XF one has a yoke style pinion while the E series one I used had a flange style attachment on the pinion. The E series tailshaft I used slipped straight in to the T5, not sure about other transmissions or whather you need a specific one for auto or manual. Use the rear section of the handbrake cable out of an E series (which is a 2 piece) and use the current XF front section with the adjuster. You need an adapter to attach the E series body-differential brake hose to the current XF hard line on the body. Brake calipers rotors and pads are different from the XF so you cant transfer them over. The watts link will fit straight back on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Campo 869 Posted March 24, 2014 Cool thanks mate i'll check regarding the bushes. I think ea/eb/ed are the same as xf bushes and then ef/el went to the different one Any idea where i get the adapter for brake lines? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
