Suspension Turret Retaining ring

(1/4) > >>

ben_haynes:
i am in the middle of getting all the kit for my suspension lift

i have Shocks, Springs, Lowering Turrets for front, Lowering Plates for rear, spring retaining bracket front and rear, and longer bump stops

i need Turret retaining rings, Brake Hoses, Poly Bush Kit <a couple of bushes are wearing out, that were noticed on the MOT and a Shock Bush fell of the other day :oops:>

is there any thing i have missed????

I have been looking at these on paddocks
and they give me an option of 2

which is the best to go for, it has heavy off road use and is used on road aswell

HD http://www.paddockspares.com/pp/OFF_ROAD/HD_Suspension_Parts/Heavy_Duty_Shock_Absorber_Turret_Securing_Ring_(each).html

or

Standard http://www.paddockspares.com/pp/RANGE_ROVER_to_1985/Suspension/Shock_absorber_turret_securing_ring.html

and neither of the items tell me they come as a pair like the lower retaining plates, so has any one purchased either from paddocks and knows how they come??

MuddyMachine:

For brake hoses the Goodridge ones paddocks sell (or certainly sold when I got mine) are good quality, seem to be very reasonably priced and come in up to +4" length. If you need longer hoses then Llama4x4 will custom make any length up to 1m for a very reasonable fixed price, as it was I already had the Goodridge before I delt with david from Llama.

Polyurethane bushes :roll: don't get me started on delfex, best summed up as "gorssely over priced for what you get". Polybush are much better, though all in all I'm now back to genuine part rubber bushes for the 'Off roader'

Those HD ones are quite good in that they use M8 (course) threads which seem to be more robust than the standard items which use IIRC a 3/8" UNF (fine) thread. I've known the threads on new pattern part rings to sieze when the nut was on only a few turns and sheared.

What you can't see is the underside of the HD turret rings. Unless they have change the design then the underside which the spring sits against is not flat due to the heads of the bolts poking through, resulting on the spring seating agains 4 raised points. So far this has not caused any problems on mine, but its not as good a design as some other HD turret rings which use bolts with coundersunk heads so they sit flush.

ben_haynes:
i was looking at Goodridge, how long would you reccomend for the Brake hoses, the suspension is +2" springs and shocks and then the -2" lowering turrets and plates and i will put rear spring retainers on as they do pop out regularly
