Will Steering box Drop arm & drag link (if you want to convert to the Disco spec setup & use track rod ends all round) Swivels will be different (your 110 has the early large CVs etc) That's it for now - if I think of anything else I'll let you know...

Dave W Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 The simplest answer is... all of it... It does get slightly more complicated if you want to mix and match though. I use Disco 300 steering setups on my Defenders as a preference. The biggest advantage being that the Disco 300 used a track rod end where the drag link joins the drop arm which is a LOT easier to change and work on than the version with the ball joint built into the drop arm. If you want to maintain the steering damper in front of the axle then you need an aftermarket damper setup that clamps to the drag link as you lose the swan neck that the standard damper attaches to. You then use the normal Defender track arm at he back of the axle without the damper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishbosh Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Yup, I have a Disco box and drop arm on my 90 as I cannot be doing with that stoopid ball joint wotsit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
