Cranked Radius Arms

Do crancked radius arms actually help you stay on the road, or are they just underside bling? I dont think there gona help the articulation, think my limit is the shocks. Im going the rear axle and was pondering about crancked trailing arms, they are about £80 delivered off ebay.

I also need some new chassis-shocker mounts for the back and some rear +2 shockers as mines got front shockers on the back as part of some homersexual dual shocker bodge, if anyone has some spares kicking about.

Rich.

2 reason why they arr cranked,

1 to reduce wear on the bush (the pin that goes through the bush sits at 90 degrees while normal driving conditions)

2 for more articulation, when other components are changed then it aids droop of the axle as the radius arm pin and bush starts at 90 degrees instead of 75 degrees.

Bad example but its early for mr anyway! Jai

On a 2" (or more) lift they bring your axles back into line and help reduce the vibration, but you may need wide yoke props as well, do a search as Trewey did a write up on this a while back

Paddocks are cheaper than flea-bay for em.

Yes and yes.

The axle is on (got one for £60 from inside out, only 30K on it), but has no brake parts what so ever as i striped it for rebuild, there coming in the post tmorrow and ill fit them. Having issues with the shock absorber, ive got to put some new mounts on the chassis and possibly cut of the old ones if there in the way. Im a little concerned about that because those mounts are all thats holding my rusty battered spring seats to the chassis!

Just bought a set of Shock mounts for my front shocks on back rig.

Land Rover Challenge Rear Shock Absorber Mounting Kit. on eBay, also, Land Rover, Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 13-Apr-09 22:46:25 BST)

Expensive, but cheaper than new standard mounts and a pair of rear pro comp +2 shocks.

what shocksare you going for?
Ive just had to order a new brake master cylinder as mine is knackered

You in all day on wed or just for the meal where you shall be serving me

****.

yes

Can anyone with a 110 help me out with this; I have got some standard rear shock mounts coming tomorrow, and i need to drill the holes to mount them on, as you can see from the picure above mine are different.

Thing is, i duno where to drill the holes, has anyone got a photo which clearly shows the possition of the mount?

Cheers.

EDIT: Scrap that im being an idiot. Theres a TD5 110 parked outside FFS. :doh:
