Disco 2 Rear radius arm bushes

Andy Warren · Mar 19, 2024

Hi all, are the rear most bushes in the radius arm a different construction from the front bush ? I'm replacing mine & the front bush is the usual metalastic jobbie whilst the rear two seem to have plastic on the o/s of the bush, see pics (I've only removed the front one at the moment),
Thanks in advance.

Hi, If you're saying they look like plastic they may be Polybushes.

I've now replaced the front (smaller) bushes on the rear r/arms with polybushes, think the old ones had seen better days ! Cobbled together a 'tool' to insert them.

I think new original owner did.I'm the second & have done about 16,000 in just under 3yrs.
Wire brushed & given a coat of Vactan, I'll the spray it with Halfords truck bed spray (bloody good stuff) & hopefully refit this afternoon

.I must admit the bolts, considering they've done 180,000 miles, are in great nick so someone at LR got something right in this particular case
