dioliahary Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Hi can you take all four off arms off at the same time with the landy on the road, my thinking is to take all off and get the new bushes pressed in at my mates garage, return and fit, ta h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I wouldn't, frankly., The rear axle has some restraint provided by the A frame, but it'll still move out of position. The front axle has no such restraint, you'll find it doing the splits. Better off doing one end at a time and leaving it on the axle stands.

Les Henson Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Front axle will move backwards, whether or not it's on the ground, so refitting the arms requiring leverage/swearing/inventive use of a jack or ratchet straps. Back axle isn't so bad, but you still have to lever it to get the bolt holes lined up. It's the same if you do them one at a time, so taking all 4 off will make little difference. I would do it with wheels off the ground though, as moving an axle is easier than moving an entire vehicle. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacr2man Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 With the front (just done it today) its best to leave one arm on , whilst you do the other , as the front axle tries to rotate ,and moves horizontally which means jacking diff and pulling rearwards at same time . The rear is not so problematic, just needs pulling (ratchet strap) to pull back into position HTSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
