    D2 and D2a front radius arms lengths

    I have bought new super pro bushes to install in to my front radius arms. My D2 is an early 99 model but I have a set of front radius arms off a 2004 D2a which I parted out. I think I read somewhere that they are slightly different lengths, but I can't seem to find that info anywhere again!

    Am I able to use the D2a front radius arms to install in my 99 D2? It would save me a bit of time being able to press the new bushes in to the D2a arms while there in the garage and then install them straight in.

    Any info would be great.

    There’s only one part number for D2 radius armS on the Jaguar Land Rover classic parts site, so on that basis I’d guess they are the same.

    Radius arms are the same, but the panhard is a different length (IIRC the D2 is shorter)

    Thanks for the replies. That will make things a bit easier and quicker to do now. I can have the new bushes pressed on to the D2a arms, take my arms out of the D2 and install the new ones. D2 and D2a front radius arms lengthsD2 and D2a front radius arms lengths

    It might the front vs rear being different that you're thinking of. The fronts are longer.

    Yep, somehow the 'a' went walkabout in my post
