Tips for watts linkage

Kadonkadonk1 · Jan 5, 2019

im looking to remove my old watts linkage and replace it with another one which has already got polybushes in place.
I'm looking for advice and tips on how to go about making the job easier so I don't run into problems.

Is it as straight forward as taking the bolts out and removing the old one, putting the new one in place and doing the bolts up ?

Will they line up perfectly etc etc...

All help appreciated

Are you sure you want to use polybushes? I replaced mine a while ago, but I used original bushes as it's such a pain to do, and I really didn't want to have to do it again in a hurry.

I don't see why not.

There any many posts regarding the polybushes failing fairly quickly

jack rear axle up and support remove the wheels then jack the rear up using the tow bar bracket, it just unbolts then the 2 chassis mounts and the long center pivot bolt

I know that they can be hit or miss but at the extorniate price for genuine landrover bushes, which I can't afford right now, I don't have much choice

What make are the polybushes?

They are the orange ones. Floflex I think

Is it all from a reputable reseller?
