Swivel joints.....almost done..
Range Rover Blues:
IIRC the early sealsonly apply to RRC. The bearing are the same top and bottom one the non-ABS style swivels found on ealrier Disco and RRC, the later type have the Railko bush so that the ABS sensor could fit inside the top swivel pin.
Gaitors, well i bought a set for mine and they didn't fit so i left them off. BNy the time I thought to sort that out the swivels were already chipped and going rusty, so my advice is sfit them loose so they protect the polished surface fo the ball from stone chios but leave them open so they don't accumulate muck or you can at least hose them out.
Disco_Stu:
My advice would be to follow the above advice!
Except, don't go to paddocks, go to Mailorder 4x4, their service is far superior and the swivel ball kit they supply has the teflon coated ball instead of cheap far east chrome. This way you can probably skip the gaiters also. Mine is sound.

andrew2986:
The kit I bought from Paddocks had a Teflon coated swivel.
lee celtic:
Balls ok so all I need is the bearings and seals just thought I may be able to change the bearings without taking the ball off the axle as the seal there isn't leaking so I don't really want to disturb it ( if it ain't broke don't fix it and all that)...
Range Rover Blues:
Mine are teflon coated, not impressed. Next time it'll be chrome.
