Christian Eilersen Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I am about to change the cv-joints on my defender '1994 90" 300tdi. Anything else I ought to change while I am in there? Which gaskets, seals, washers etc. do I need in order to get the front axle assebled again? Kind regards, Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Check the wheel bearings, swivel bearings/railko bushes for wear. Most things will become evident when you strip it down to replace the CV. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Eilersen Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 Thanks Les, The thing is, I live in Denmark and I normally order the parts in the UK. Thats means delivery delays of up to a week or more. - therefore it would be ideal for me to have ordered all the needed parts, including gaskets, seals etc. before I start the operation. Otherwise my beloved Defender could be stranded for weeks :-) I am thinking of replacing the front stub axles, cv-joint and wheel bearings. Would this list be a good match to what I would need ? 2 CV joint kit ( http://www.paddockspares.com/pp/KITS/CV_Jo...N_LA930456.html ) 2 Front Stub Axle from LA930456 2 Drive member FTC859 2 Gasket 571752 2 Lock Nut FRC8700 2 Washer Lock Outer FTC3179 2 Bearing STC4382 10 STUD / Bolt FRC5926 2 Bearing STC4382 2 Seal inner FTC2783 2 railko bushes 2 railko bush trust washer 2 swivel bearings I am hoping for a little help. - I have microcat installed, but it is not easy to understand exectly which parts are needed.. Kind regards Christian Check the wheel bearings, swivel bearings/railko bushes for wear. Most things will become evident when you strip it down to replace the CV.Les.

GBMUD Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 The stub axle is not usually a wearing part, though the land where the seal runs can become damaged. This land can be repaired with a 'speedi-sleeve' if needs be. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 if your axle is LA> then i suspect it will have bearings top and bottom, not the railko bushes... I'd go for something like this: http://www.paddockspares.com/pp/DEFENDER/A...m_LA930456.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
