front suspension

[3toes]

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask this so please let me know of it should be elsewhere. Put it here as relates to a 1998 P38 4.6 Range Rover.

The ride / feed back through the steering wheel from the front of my vehicle is not as I think it should be. Seems to be too rough at say under 20 miles an hour. The previous one seemed to be smooth at all speeds. Perhaps though this is just memory failure or the difference between petrol and the prior being diesel? Not sure so any comment appreciated.

Am thinking about rebushing the front suspension. As it is now a few years old perhaps there is wear and age related deterioation here which is showing in the ride?

If I were to rebuild the front axle what should be looked at while it is apart?

Why rebuild the axle? Can't you just change the bushes? Have you checked your shocks? even tyre pressure?

Mine used to feel really firm at about 80-90k's on the new freeway we have here, like it was following the ripples in the road. Turned out to be a sticking front left shock. Haven't replaced it yet, as the car is off the road, but will.

I managed to remove both radius arms in one hit, and pushed new genuine bushes into them.
