Title: Poly bush kits
Post by: Ady427 on July 10, 2006, 20:01:54
Hi there,  just wondering if anyone can help,  recently fitted a poly bush kit to my 1988 RRC,  the rangy is now being replaced by a 1995 300 Tdi Disco,  can anybody tell me if I can just swap over the p/bushed bits,  or are the radius arms panhard etc etc different.

Thanks
Ady

if you arent sure ring your supplier.

but i think they are swappable, but i THINK it depends on whether your disco has ABS or not?

They should all be the same, your RRC has metric radius arms and these are interchangeable with the Soft dash classic so should fit the Disco. They are not the same though.

The front RRC radius arms a a LOT thinner than the 300 disco ones...........so you will have to modifie the bushs...38mm-45mm.

The arms should still fit though because the axle bracket is still the same size. The narrower arms use wider bushes to make up the same width fitting. As your arms are already bushed there shouldn't be any mods needed. Just remember what the arms are off if you need to rebush in future. :)

uh uh,the early disco arms have narrow bushes & narrow holes,later ones have wide arms n wide holes,the late arms will only fir in the narrow hole if u "adjust" them (no sayin how after the last round o bitching after my input to a problem)

S**t, something else onmy car that's non standard then, every set of rad arms I've got are the same, but my oldest car is an '88.  I thought the front and rear arms were upgraded at about the time EFi was introduced, the front arms got the 2 stage metallistic bushes to improve handling.
