series 3 swivel shimming

martind123 · Jan 12, 2012

hi everyone i have changed my swivel seals on my 1982 landrover series 3 and i thought i might as well change the bearing and the top bush do i shim the bush and the bearing or just the bearing itself

shim the bush at top

ok mate thanks i will have to take it apart because i shimmed the bottem bearing aswell

it would hurt it ,just mean the lower pin wasnt quite as far through the bottom bearing ,its the top pin that bottoms out on bush thrust washer and gives preload
