Discovery 4 Transfer Case Slop / Thud on Engagement

Once you cut them out (you can’t press out) pressing back in is not hard with a press using a variety of circular bits to push and support the object. Sockets and bits of pipe and old bearing shells are useful.

The upper arm bearings don’t protrude out the other side so you only need a nice ring to push on the flange end and lightly grease the inner surface of the control arm.

Made in Slovakia, sent to the us for you to order delivered to Oz. Wonder how they make any money on these, unless the manufacturing cost is in the order of cents per unit.

When I did all arms last year I cut out and pressed the rear lower, but they had even cylindrical end. How / what do you use to press these with the rubber over the metal, if you use something that goes outside the rubber it may bend the metal back, if on top of the rubber it will damage it ?

Where in states did you order from ?

Rock Auto - it helps to know the part numbers as sometimes they are not covered when you drop down the car spec (V6 petrol only choice) is a quirk I discovered as I only want Lemforder but sometimes they list other brands but have the Lemforder when you part search it. Exactly what the upper arms did.

For these I’ll just press evenly on the top of the flange rubber with a thick wall ring. With a bit of grease and everything clean I’ve never had a fight pushing them in with a 30T hydraulic press.

I did the same previously with the LCA bushes which are much bigger.

Is the 'thunk' present for all models, or has it somehow reduced in the 8sp variants?

Had car in to Indie last week for general inspection as planning trip to high country at easter. He said its common in the 6 speed with a bit of age, he drives same car, said mine was pretty minor, probably stretch in chain, so I'll live with in unless gets much worse.

We did Monkey Gum out past Nowra a couple of weeks ago, if the drive line can get me through that, there can't be much wrong with it.
