Thread: D2 lower shock bushes

Pair SUPERPRO Bushes Toyota Landcruiser FJ75 HJ75 FZJ75 HZJ75 Spring Eye Shackle | eBay

Here's a "How to"

www.discovery2.co.uk / Workshop :- Front Damper lower Bushes

Thanks for the 'how to' I did it a little different. I used the vice to press out the cross bar, then used it again to push out the rubber. After that I pushed a socket the whole way through to clear the fine layer of rubber from the inside of the eye, lucky it was a perfect fit to the point it got jammed, just. Cleaned the rubber off the cross bar and fitted these bush lots of lube to help the cross bar in. It sounds simple written like that, but it was a little bit of effort.

I got the bushes from Repco and the part number is 27018 - 75 Series Toyota Landcruiser Spring Bush - Rubber - $3.90 each. It is a tight fit, and yes the cross bar can spin in the hole pretty sure it is not going to make an difference.

Outer - 40mm
Inner - 18mm
Length about 36+6 = 42mm

So you went off the idea of superpro synthetic bushes and went rubber .
