Front suspension Bushes

<< < (2/3) > >>

Garth:
Can I remove both Radius arms and the Panhard Rod at the same time. I have got all the bolts loose and have access to a fly press tommorrow to remove old bushes but its 30 miles away so I would rather not make several trips.

Paul:
You should be ok providing you chock the wheels well.
I'd chock all four wheels just to make sure it don't move. :wink:

Garth:
Cheers Paul
It all came to bits tooo easy for my likeing Feel like I am being lulled into a false sence of security.

Range Rover Blues:
No all mine came apart really easily, with the exception of one radius arm bolt, behind the axle.  SO loose the water had got in and rusted the bolt into the sleeve, 3 hours to get it off.

Remember the old saying, the best way to improve a new Land Rover is tighten all the bolts up.

If the bushes don't come out with the press set fire to them!  I burned mine out with a gas torch (before you say anything the heat incinerates them, honestly) and then you can cut the steel outer with a hacksaw, once through it it looses all it's tension and slides out.

Garth:
Hi All

Happy Dave here.

Radius Arms and Panhard rod completed on Saturday. Bushes came out fine with the fly press. Few probs lineing axle back up but nowt too difficult
Managed to get the Radius arms off without removing the steering arm so made life a bit easyer (I hate ball joints).  Took out for road test and much better still has a bit of vibration but feels more like an out of balance wheel rather than "square" wheels.  Whent to change shocker bushes today and drivers side was changed no problem but when removing the pass. side two of the cone bolts snapped and as I have to use it tomorrow I thought I had better stop there till I get a new mounting plate, (the one that goes on top of the spring) I presume the bolts are captive to the plate.

Dave
