Langers Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 My Def 90 is suffering for a broken rear shock mounting bracket - it's the lower bracket that connects the shock absorber to the rear axle. It was previously holed (rust) and has now given away completely. Is it possible to buy / weald on a replacement bracket? It's been suggested that I consider replacing the whole rear axle as its slowly being eaten away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 The part your after isn't available from lR as a seperate part, only as part of a new axle case. don't see why a replacement can't be welded on, just take care to get it in the correct place in all directions.
