MOJO90 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 1984 LR90 with leaking LH swivel. Does not seem to be too much play and the balls are not pitted. Looking to buy swivel seal repair kit from MM4x4, Mail Order 4x4, LRSeries, etc. Which is best buy - Bearmach or Britpart? I know best buy is OEM but a) being lazy, b) can't afford it, c) SWMBO won't let me spend it!, d) hardly use the truck - not many green lanes in Lancashire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crane man Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 In the past I've changed the swivel ball, seals and bushes using a Britpart kit and suffered no further problems despite multiple dunkings. I can also recommend their one shot swivel grease, it's worth the extra expence if it's not included in the kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Source the genuine seals youself - use the part numbers from the kits and find someone to supply genuine. Otherwise get the bearmach kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickwilliams Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 If you buy the Britpart kit (FRC2644DEFKIT from Paddocks), be aware that it does not include the lower swivel pivot gasket (FTC3647) which you will need to re-assemble it all properly. Quite why they don't include it, I don't know - it costs 20p to buy separately. It was definitely not just missed out accidentally, it was not in either of the two kits I purchased, and it's not on the parts list for the kit. Nick.
