no not sure at all :) i did think the btm ball joints were different tho - i seem to remember somone having difficulty finding some - if they was the case they cant be the same as normal transit - so you mabe would have to swap the wishbones too :? :idea: :D

i know this is an old post, but i have a question on the idea.

not knowing enough about the oily bits myself to do more than change a wheel.

but i wondered, if the sierra granada stuff is too low, then would galaxy 4wd
parts be usable instead? would it be higher?
would it make a difference if the van was lowered some along the way?

not sure if i was reading twaddle or mis-understood what i read, but a page
i looked at led me to belive the galaxy was a rwd converted to 4wd or thats
how they worked it out or sth.

or is it all just shut up and go away?

just asking.
