Thanks Dave.

I called into Ricks 4 x 4 at Nerang on the way home today and they said they will be happy to fit them next Tuesday, so will see how we go. If there is an issue I will contact you to order "easy fit" bushes.

Hoges look forward to hearing how you go.

Thanks both

Apologies in advance for the following.

Offer 3. price is $248.

I miscalculated the PU bush component of this kit due to there being only 2 bushes in the kit listed not 4, and hence no3 needs 2 lots of 2 for front and rear.

There may also be a slight delay due to availability now that I need to double that part of the orders.

Please do not feel guilty if you need to change your order, pull out or delay payment for a week. My error so I will help out where I can.

Will PM account details for payments shortly. Please let me know of any changes by return PM.

Again, apologies for any inconveniance resulting from my dick-head-ness!

Hi,

I have just learned that there may be different diameter sway bars on the fronts of P38's. I understand there may be a 31mm diameter and am not even sure what the other(s) may be (if at all)?

I have done a search here and nothing specific is coming up. I have also checked Rave and LR parts cat. I have and it only shows one part but with no spec. I do not have a micrometer or accurate measuring device to check mine on the pig.

I am guessing that there is actually only one... and that the variances may apply to other LR models like Disco's perhaps. Anyway, I really want to confirm the diameter(s) either way. Can someone physically check theirs for me please? Or, does someone already know the sizes and model years the supposed variants may apply to?

Regards, Dave.

P.S. I have put orders on hold for the moment until I can be clear and certain of who needs what.

I have a vernier callipers and micrometers. I'll go and check mine now.......



...... 32mm. Mine is a '95 model.

MY99 (Bosch upgrade) 4.6 Roll bar: 32mm also (well 31.3mm -31.6mm )

They are coming through a very reputable well established LR parts supplier in Melbourne.

Hmm - FWIW, I bought "OEM standard, made to the original standard by the Original Equipment Manufacturer" bushes for my 110 from a very reputable supplier. The first one failed after ~1000 km of the CSR, the rest were fubar by the time I got back home. That was what made me go all super-pro.

Radius arm bush with <1000 road km and <1000 km of the CSR on it:


Trailing arm bush (<10000 km):


Feel free to PM me your email if you want more details.

Ah, I can see the quality fell with later cars.

I measured with vernier callipers at exactly 32mm near the bushes.

Dang it!

I'm having second thoughts about the OEM rubbers now...
