Bowie69 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Yes, much better all round, no nasty hacks with bushes or poorly fabricated arms. Just got to hope the swivel doesn't fail.... There have been a few britpart swivels that have sheered with larger tyres on, where stock LR items have been fine. Still, probably less chance of it happening that the known issue with even well made (QT) arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I wouldn't use anything other than a genuine swivel, despite the horrendous price. Loads of cheap ones have failed on the rough roads here, and I know somebody who had both snap off at the same time, fortunately off-road!

FridgeFreezer Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 I know a chap with a drilling jig for Land Rover swivels (or axles), it's why my pillar drill has an extra foot of column fabricated on the base ...but no I'm not volunteering! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynic-al Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Does the caster correction also help get the oil to the nose of the diff or is there enough it anyway for it not to matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, I’d much rather have it bend and stay attached Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
