Having done a number of leaf spring changes over the years it is not unusual to find U nuts needing a tweek up as springs bed down.

Just to let you all know I took the landy for a short run to settle the springs and then checked the axle to chassis distance and all seemed about right tighten them up and I can't belive how much better it rides over pot holes and bumps...

Thanks everyone so it sounds like I need to set the springs I should have mentioned I'm using the metalastic bushes. I will add to the job list. Thanks Richard

When i put new springs all round, i let it settle under its own weight then tightened up

When I did mine I loaded up the back with as much weight as I could til the chassis distance was roughly as per the book. Then drove about a while. Then tightened it all up. But with new springs being so variable I’m not sure the book distances...

Good Morning all Just a quick question just replaced all my chassis and spring bushes and the LR Manual talks about spring deflection and setting the distance between chassis and spring before tightening the leaf spring shakes etc. My question...

I would look at a genuine temp sensor I know there is also a difference in the coloured run around the top. You may have a defender temp sender as I have heard they are different..
