Anyone seen this before!?
 
I'd hope as the driver I would have picked up the play in the steering around straight ahead before a ball joint separated ;). Or has it actually broken ?
 
I had this happen to me after a 70mph trip down the M5. No difference to steering prior to failure and had been MOT'd two months before. Actually just fell off when I parked up, very scary. Wrote to Landrover suggesting the should fit grease nipples to these joints. Predictably they didn't want to know.
 
Never seen a D2 pitman arm up close, are they all banana shaped? Does the D2 use the same steering box as a P38 or the 4 bolt Adwest unit? Seems strange unless the steering bar is deliberately longer ala P38?
