Rear Radious Arm Polybish

border · Feb 8, 2019

Sorry but need to solve another how to problem.
Just loosely fitted rear arms to axle ready to connect to chassis at weekend, well that's the plan anyway

I have the exact same kit that Buster is fitting here https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/lower-link-bushes-renewal.65096/ my problem is how to get the metal sleeve in to the big bush that connects to the chassis. I tried it earlier but it is way to tight, looks like it wont go in at all without damaging the bush. I've used this photo from his guide, he says he pushed it in but does not say how.
Thanks

I have a set of those and the sleeve slides in easily to the bush.

Cheers

You need to grease the sleeve slightly, and push it in with a G clamp or vice. Some of mine were tight like that.

Will give it a go tomorrow, gonna be a struggle getting other side in after its fitted through chassis mount.

When I done mine, I fitted the tube to one 1/2 of the bush, then installed it on the arm. Once in position, I fitted the other side as best I could, and used the nut and washer to seat it on the tube.

Was just thinking that, its got no where to go after washer and nut is on so should just wind in.
Thanks for your help

If the edge of the tube is a bit sharp smooth it off before fitting.

Worked a Treat now they slide in and out easily, Think I just panic at the slightest problem.
