    90 TD5 "A" Frame ball joint

    Ha I knew it!!! I'm going to sacrifice a 30 mm spanner, I'm going to cut down to see if I can get the ring end in and weld the open end to a socket see if I can get in.

    what oil for gearbox td5

    Mine had some weird gear oil in when I bought it and getting a gear whilst it was cold was a nightmare, I swapped it for mtf94 L/R recommended and it was still poor so on the advice of a local Indy landy garage I used a decent ATF and it's much better now!

    Rear shock recommendations

    Sorry if it's been covered before but..... Rear shocks are looking very tired on my 90. I was thinking britpart super gaz all round? I don't do any serious off roading just around fields and tracks? I don't want to spend a fortune Any suggestions?

    90 TD5 "A" Frame ball joint

    Why? What's difficult? Is it lining it back up? I once took the bash plate off a ty250 in 5 mins and spent 3 hrs putting it back with ratchet straps and pry bars:crazy_driver:

    90 TD5 "A" Frame ball joint

    Well.......... Whilst looking round underneath I noticed both rear shocks were buggered Someone fitted those really cheap britpart ones but they have gone from no signs of wear to shagged in 5,000 miles, they are on the list but there is lift in the balljoint too.

    Which alloy wheels for defender 90 (2009)?

    Hi mate, iv put discovery freestyle wheels on my 2003 90. As far as I know any rrc, disco or defender wheels will fit. No need for spacers just a set of alloy wheel nuts I had a set of compomotives off a disco on for a while. Buying old disco wheels probably means 235/70 tyres which are too...

    teflon swivels

    I think all you need to know is abs or not? The abs kits have a hole in the top of the top pin for an abs sensor. I ordered the kit from paddocks and it had everything i needed.

    Half shaft spacer???

    Yeah iv ordered a spacer. I'm going to strip it and see if it'll fit. All I can it does is keep the raised shoulder of the half shaft in the seal in the swivel ball?

    Half shaft spacer???

    Anyone one ever seen a defender without this spacer/collar fitted? I'm not using the motor until I know what the crack is.

    Half shaft spacer???

    I got my defender back together today and drove it, it's driving fine with no noises or vibrations, After looking at busters how to (after doing finishing the job) when he changed the cv there was a metal spacer as well as the wire clip. Mine definitely did not have a spacer fitted on the half...
