 As above, no issues,   Can be done quite quickly but as always with landys allow time for rusty/seized bits n pieces  :lol:

Would having the narrower hocky sticks cause any probs?

Nope, fit disco ones.......... job sorted, the only slight issue i see with fitting disco 300 axles, is the rubber donut on the rear diff, but that can be sorted..!

PLus you end up with 2 steering dampers.  I have to be honest I think the axle mounted damper on the Disco works better, despite the one on the drag link moving further (you'd expect more damping) I find I get wheel flutter without the one on the axle.
