Suspension bush sizes

Hi all.

LR 110 1983.
I've got my kit of Poly bushes through and will need to get on and fit them soon! Can anyone tell me what size 'drift' I need for the various metalastic bushes that have to come out? I guess I really need to know the bore size of the arms where the bushes press in. I'm doing all of them, radius arms, Panhard rod, A frame. I think the Panhard rod changed in 1986?

It's just so I can be prepared before I start taking it all apart.

i think you'll find that no matter what size of drift or hammer u have the  bushes wont shift,i use a 20 ton press to do suspension bushes & sometimes they still need to be heated or burnt out to remove them,have fun :lol:  :lol:

V8MoneyPit:
Thanks for that helpful (??  :lol: ) reply! I was not expecting it to be easy  :? Nothing with Land Rovers ever is! I just wanted to try to shorten the 'out of action' time by turning up some tools for the press before pulling too much off the car. I know that is a bit optimistic, but we can all dream  :lol:

hobbit:
If you use the polybush replacements as measures you should be fairly accurate, just allow a mill or so below their size, normally I use impact sockets with the press
