All series steering arms that I have seen have a press in swivel pin. I have heard that they can bend, even driving in soft sand but there were at least 3 different thickness steering arms since 1948 and I have never bent the series 3 ones, even with the extra leverage of portals. Series front axles with UJ's are junk. The halfshafts are not properly heat treated and you can cut through them with a bread knife. The UJ's are 2 15/16'' ,not even as strong as the propshaft UJ's at 3 3/16'' and subject to up to 4.7 times more torque. No way are they as strong as Stage 1 V8 cv's and axles which can also be fitted to series 2 or three vehicles.

I am not at work today, but I didn't think there was enough surface area on either the top or bottom of RangeRover outer swivel housings to drill and tap for series steering arms. I will check tomorrow.

Bill.
