Yep - even with not such a keen eye!

Viewers should also note your tippex markings on teh carriers to keep everything straight for reassembly

Well spotted that man

I only mark them if I'm refitting the same bearing housings. If I replacing the whole bearing assembly then there's little point in marking the position.
I'm going to test my VCU this week, I suspect it's due for replacement.

Well just taken the whole lot off and boy it certainly feels easier round hard corners.Just out of interest should i be able to move the vcu at all by hand

No not really. You need a long lever.
This is how a good VCU should perform. If you don't get similar results using this test, your VCU is to stiff.

The mass damper is fitted to all 4 cylinder Freelanders. Only the V6 doesn't have one
