Stub axles are different AFAIK, the lower control arms and the Strut rods. This is info I remember when I was still in spares ( 6 year gap unfortunately)
I also remember that putting EF/EL wheels on EB's was slightly problematic. |

I found this which really doesn't explain properly but??
ford-bodykits-f15/e-series-wheel-offset-t3936.html I remember that Genuine EF Ford alloys (15") wouldn't fit properly on my EB as they fouled the caliper, They were okay with a 10mm spacer though? |

Thanks tho

Pre EF wheel studs are shorter, EL lower arm pivot bushes are larger, EL K frame radius rod front mounting has a welded ring on the front for extra firmness. EFII/EL front uprights have the lower ball joint mounted 5mm higher - visible with a 95DA number inboard near the lower ball joint mounting. Tierod stud hole in different spot on pre EF uprights.
EL front swaybar D brackets are dimpled to locate the bushes. First I've heard re the wheel fitments - I thought all E series had +6 offset. Front calipers are all same E series - except EL GT and FBT which have twin piston C4 calipers.
