    Def130 Suspension parts

    Hey Ho - I need to overhaul all the bushes underneath the Defender, she's plumb worn out. A couple of other bits and pieces of steering gear and suspension are getting a bit worn too.

    What's the good oil on suspension parts these days? What brands are folks using and getting good life out of?

    I'm not looking to build a mad off roader - this is a work truck - so just need good quality parts that aren't overpriced.

    Cheers,

    Adam

    98% of all Land Rovers built are still on the road.
    The other 2% made it home.

    Cost difference between Britpart and Genuine seals: £2.04. Knowing that your brakes won't fail at any moment: Priceless.

    Hi JC, good to see you about.

    Have you noticed any decline in the quality of genuine LR bushes?

    2 mates bought a full set of Superpro poly bushes (KIT043AK) for their 94 model Defenders for ~$270 from Supercheap. Very good price I reckon.

    Hey Justin - why do you prefer rubber over poly?
