Thanks for your reply Cooltide, ill go for renewing the rears first, see if that straightens up the rear nearside leaning. Regarding your marital strain, mines ok, so long as its only me landrover I play with :( regards Leemar

Hi , NO, the steering feels o/k for an 87, 90. Its just the look of the vehicle when standing parked up, there is a definite low point at the rear nearside corner, I have taken various measurements, and its pointing to possibly a weak spring, or shock, OR both. I think that with the 245 x 75...

With my 90, the rear nearside suspension is about 1-5 inches low, plus the front offside suspension is about 1-5 high, could this be because the low rear is cocking up the front offside, and by renewing, as you say, ( in pairs ), both rears, could this level the 90 up, all round. Or, I have...

Hi Hippo, I did mention in my post, finding bare inner roof running with water each mourning, and thats what I did to cure the problem. Result . For me anyway. Regards Leemarb

Hi, and thanks for your replies, regarding the removal of the fixing bolts, I think this is the nerve tingling part of the job, WHAT IF ETC. well, we did have a mini impact driver, this we only used to give final tightening of bolts, Our tool of choice was a large Philips driver, this had a...

Well, today has been the day for hinge changing, roped my son in, thankfully. Weather good. Laid out tools, opened you know whose box of tricks, surveyed existing doors, and hinges, then the new hinges, and fittings. ( came in full kit form ). Seems that all hinges will fit all defender models...
