Had the wheel off the P38 today & realised there's no swivels. I feel violated.....................

Mind you, there is a chassis still!

You could always look upon the top and bottom ball joints as miniature
swivels, duplicated?......

And the fun really starts when they go. Offically after three joints
have been fitted the axle is scap - and that includes the factory fitted
ones, so only 2 repairs. Plus fitting them is a complete bugger.

I think you will find they were never fitted at the factory so at least they
have not gone AWOL

Yep they still fitted those but not any longer. No seperate chassis on mine.
There is still a chassis on the new Disco which has an amusing hole each
side where the drive shafts pass through for the back wheels.
