The Bruce Davis one would more than likely be a Maxi Drive one.
The advantage of the Maxi Drive one is that it's greasable and can be adjusted for wear, and spare boots are available.
G,day.
My poor Disco has developed the dreaded clunk in the
rear A frame balljoint.
I understand that Bruce Davis Performance Landy's
market an adjustable jobby ?
Is there any advantage using this as opposed to an
original Landrover thingy ?

Anyone have a tip on checking this. I have had a clunk from when I got it three years ago.... (When asked to check out the clunk the stealer told me it was just wear and tear and they all do it![]()
Any idea what these cost to replace?
i had an adjustable one fitted by Bruce and no more clunk. Cant remember the price thoughJim
Thanks.
I think I will contact Bruce and order one.
I am hoping that I wont need any special tools to
fit it ? Other than a hammer and chisel !
Tar.
If anyone is interested, The adjustable one from
Bruce Davis costs $88 plus postage. I'm ordering one.
Decided to replace all of the rubbers and bushes in
the back end, while I'm at it. Most of it is the original
stuff so I will replace it now and forget about it.
Cheers.
If your ball joint is anything like my fenders one you will need more than a hammer!! Pat
echoing PAT303's comment, IMHO I do not think that a hammer & chisel will get you far (in case you thought it might) - if you like getting into heavy stuff yourself - then fine......... otherwise it could pay to entrust it to a realiable mechanic with a 20t press - cause that's what some of my bushes needed -
(I could recommend a LR workshop in western sydney who did all my bushes in a day. but that's obviously no use to you)![]()
I put a maxi-drive in the Defender recently - for that price too. When I say I put it in I mean I got the local mechanic to do it as he had hoist, oxy, press, and heaps more patients (cause I was paying for it). Two of us tried for about 4 hours to get the A-frame joint apart and couldn't get things to budge, in the end it still took the mechanic 2 hours to do and they said it was the worst one they've done.
