P38 Bilstien Dampers - Good buy indeed

Just done the dampers on my P38 for Bilstiens. Wow!! They make a huge difference to handling etc. The
easiest job I have ever done on a Land Rover too. Jacked air susp up to high, opened tailgate to stop it
dropping, got me spanners out & didn't even have to take off the wheels. Four bolts at the top, four nuts
at the bottom & off they all dropped. The rears looked a right ****, but the bolt head can be got at from
the wheel arch. You need two long 1/4 drive extension bars, but it's dead easy. Another good thing is the
original LR parts have a shank you can put a 19mm spanner on so no need of a pair of stilsons etc.

The old ones I took off looked nearly new at the front & the back ones where fecked. All Land Rover
original parts.

I can recommend the fitting of these at around £250 it makes the car literally a different car to drive &
it took me an hour start to finish.

The main benefit I can feel is lateral body control is miles better & bump rebound is non existent now.
Steering feels tighter too.
