The axle ones I mean.

Both pins are in great condition. Ive seen worn pins before, including someone's I repaired that had no pin left whatsoever and he wondered why the steering felt off 😬. I'll do the left side tonight and see how it goes tomorrow

A dead or nearly dead shock/damper can result in that sort of rattle upon hitting a pot hole but pre load first.

Fix the other side, new top pin and bush if there is any side to side movement at the top of the swivel housing. In this case just removing shims will only improve things for a bit.

Get a proper bumper, that box section looks horrible.

Endoscope attachment for I phone and look through the slave as per @D1Nut post. Mine's arm went at 69K [ I keep a record of major repair/service items] It would depend on where you live, driving with me is mostly up hill and down the cwm on...

You just need a louder engine. I don't ear any wind noise from my roof rack :D

Seal gone?

There won't be any height difference just by going for a road tyre, unless you change size. Which is an option, but depends what size you have now. Smaller tyres will also impact gearing. It is all possible however. In terms of tyres... do you...

I have a couple of roof bars for when needed. I DO NOT leave them on, loads of wind noise and great when off road for catching over growth.

I have BFG AT and don't really notice any tyre noise. My son has BFG MT and a roof rack, that is noisy, I have to open the window to let the noise out!

Had my landy a long time. When it was still a 19j about 23 year ago had the original fork go through. Also found its pivot had worn to a point. Replaced with standard fork and new pivot with a dab of grease on it. 3 Years later 19j was done...

There will not be a huge difference between AT and what are often called "all weather" noise wise. Fitting a lower profile tyre to fit into multi story's will upset your gearing, needing more revs to obtain the same road speed as before. You...

I did a partial strip down on an lt230 that came my way last year. Like yours it turned nice and smooth but had sat a long time. Flanges off to check lands, bottom plate to check gears, diff lock shaft needed freeing up. Some Gaskets and seals...

Thankfully it was just being stubborn, some sharp rocking and it separated, thanks all!

Swopped over the master pushrods and all is well again. Had some issues bleeding the clutch but got there in the end, all back together and a limited test on the drive has given me good rev and first gears again. In case someone does a search and...

It wont just pop back in and stay there, given the need to get in the back might as well fit a new one.

You don't want to replace the drums if you don't have to, the chances of the new ones being round are slim.

I have a 1990 Ninety, had it a long time, never had "isolation pads". As above re unseated spring and also check the shock/damper fittings.

It's the opposite of what you think. The pivot is a basic bush and to get lube in there it will need to be thin, engine oil will do. Better would be RP90 penetrating oil if things are very stiff. Also check return springs are good. Do not use...

I recon so. Likely you will need a different input gear. I do not know what the various part numbers are, much info on Ashcroft's site.

That is well true. :D

Thank you to everyone for your replies. It's now off. A combination of 2 blow torches and a larger hammer(sledge) and couple of well placed whacks on the face broke it free.

There are several differences, an example is early none cross drilled input gears have shorter splines inside. Ashcroft site "ashcroft lt230 input gear" for more info.

So you have two input gears, do they look identical? Are they cross drilled types? I do not see a twist in the shaft though, the rule will not sit straight at the box end because the spline grooves shallow out and widen there, it is just the way...

There are differences. What are the ages of what you have box wise?

I have sprayed everywhere I can and now I've got it off. The answer was staring me in the face, it was a sledge leaning up in the corner of the garage and a couple of blow torches. And a couple of whacks and it was loose

Spray some release oil like Plus gas or RP 90 [ even some diesel ] on the wheel studs where the pass through the drum and whack it some more on the rear edge knocking for out. A lump hammer that has a wide face is best.

Posting for future reference in case ever needed! Finally found the correct grub screw size: 10/32 x 1/4

Fluid film, look at my fluid film thread from a few years back, its lanolin based and you spray it inside and out using compressor, absolutely amazing product and it’s all pretty much still on there and the underneath of my landy puts most others...
