Daisy90 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Hi all, a work colleague has just called to say his steering box is leaking on his TD5 Disco, I have changed one on my early V8 disco ( much missed ) and can't remember any dramas but was just checking it was quite straight forward to do ? Am I right to think the steering drop arms a very tight ? Or is it as easy to buy a new drop arm to save the issues of swapping them over ? And finally - any supplier reccomended or to avoid ?? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dooroy Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I got a recon box for my D1 from Paddocks a few years back and it was happy with it - had the Disco for about 2 yrs after the change . Thats just my experience - others may disagree and suggest another supplier . As regards the drop link I would certainly recommend getting a box with the drop arm attached - I had a 10 ton hydraulic puller and it just about got the arm off after a lot of hassle . I read some posts at the time where gas etc had to be used to try to get the arm off . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Mine came from Adwest. The pipes aren't threaded, they're poked in and held down with a plate which clamps them in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
