1986RRCV85SPD Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Does anyone know off the top of their head what the part number for the bottom joint on the Boge is? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintman Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 If you mean the one that attaches to the Boge unit itself then it's 575882.

paintman Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) I'm presuming you mean the one that goes into number 9 - bracket rear axle fulcrum - in this link? http://new.lrcat.com/#!/1230/69277/69610/5680 If that's the one then it's: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Range-Rover-Classic-Rear-A-Frame-Ball-Joint-ANR1799-/201470043460?hash=item2ee88ce544:g:ynsAAOSwZVhWTkgq Common source of a clunk when pulling away from standing & when taking the foot off the loud pedal for slowing or gear changing. When they start to clunk they're well worn! Check by using a lever between the diffhousing & the a-frame. Should be little or no movement. The balljoint is available on its own as above or also pre-assembled into the fulcrum bracket : http://www.paddockspares.com/fulcrum-bracket.html They can be a bit awkward to get the pin end out of the bracket on the axle (on mine the axle bracket is part of the axle & not removable), but the fun starts when you try & remove the balljoint from the fulcrum bracket. Don't even think of trying to do it on the vehicle, remove the fulcrum bracket. The ball joint is pressed into the fulcrum bracket & after you've removed the bolts you can either use a press to remove it & press the new one in OR batter it out then use longer bolts or threaded rod to wind the new one in. They are VERY VERY tight & if you don't line the holes up to get the bolts in then you have no chance of just twisting it a bit once it's in. I've done two & the first was by the batter method & the second with a press of the bottle-jack-in-a-frame variety(which I'd treated myself to for another job) Batter method here: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/a-frame-balljoint-renewal.110342/ Edited February 9, 2017 by paintman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintman Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) Note that the pre-assembled fulcrum bracket http://www.paddockspares.com/fulcrum-bracket.html IS NOT suitable for use with a Boge levelling unit equipped vehicle. Can't get back into the post to edit it for some reason. Edited February 9, 2017 by paintman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1986RRCV85SPD Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Brilliant. Thank you very much. I shall enjoy the lack of clunking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
