Sammy410 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Hi all, We have a pair of terrafirma big bore shocks on our defender 130 ambulance camper conversion. After having a shock fail due to it popping off the top bush and reading that others have experienced this, ideally we would like to change to poly bushes. I can seem to find them anywhere after a long internet trawl... Any advice? I saw in an old post someone had purchased super pro bushes forth em but I can't seem yo find ones the right size? Many thanks Sammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Where did you buy the Terrafirma dampers from ?? they would be my first port of call for new bushes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy410 Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 They came with the landy. We've contacted allmakes4x4 direct and they only have rubber bushes. Just hoping to source some polybushes as we are using it for overland travel so need to be able to replace on the road if they fail again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I'd think the bushes would be a standard size certainly the centre hole for the upper bracket pin should be, the big washer on the top mount should prevent the damper seperating from the bush.

Sammy410 Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 The terrafirma big bore shocks have a much larger bush than the land rover standard shocks. You're right though, the upper bracket pin is the same. The washer holding them in is smaller than the bush and has already once popped out on us - terrible design! After trawling lr forums, it seems others have experienced the same problem so I'm looking for a way to solve the problem if it happens again... I'm hoping for a much cheaper solution to replacing the shocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
