    The front shock bushings on my Bilsteins have pretty much crumbled to dust. My one experience with poly bushes was not positive, I think they were Ironman yellow that disintegrated within a year. Any recommendations or should I just call Bilstein and see if I can get replacements from them.

    Guys/Gals - I need some solid advice from folks with my current setup or similar. I just recently had a complete overhaul of my suspension. As a bit of history, I was running original OEM bushings and the old stage II 2" lift kit from Safari Gard which was essentially a 2" OME HD spring lift...

    I bought an 86 rover 90 that was missing the washers in front of the bushings on the threaded end of the radius arms not back bushings but the ones in front of the frame bracket. Anyway I sent my arms out to be cranked by RTE. when I reassembled, I was referring to a parts diagram and noticed...

    Need to replace lower bushings on rear shocks, I might as well do the uppers too. I'm having trouble finding the correct bushings, I've called around locally and have been told there are two different types of bushing based on my vin number, at the time I did not have my vin on hand. Called AB...

    My stock '86 110 doesn't inspire a "lot of confidence" under an emergency/panic stop. Whether I'm doing 40mph (on the streets) or 65mph (on the freeway), the truck will unsettle itself during an emergency or short brake stop, and scare the crap out of me. I'm not sure if it's the rubber...

    Anyone have experience with aftermarket poly bushings or brand new genuine rubber bushings? I've heard conflicting things Some say OEM are better, and if poly were better, then Land Rover would be using them. Some say poly are better. Easier to install, just as durable. Also I don't have a...

    Any idea what a good substitute would be for the upper shock bushings (rear) ? Neoprene, rubber, makes no difference, mine are just cooked with too much play. Inquired what the cost of OME replacements were and first of all didn't have any in stock and second, they were stupid money ($40ea)...

    The stock bushings seem to be too small. Does anyone know where I can get the specific ones for these? I wrote Atlantic British (were I purchased them) with no luck. They don't carry them.

    New to the land rover scene. I have a 1996 defender 110. Trying to figure out why the top bushings on shock tower are being shredded after 3-4 weeks of being replaced?

    I can't find em anywhere. AB has some but it's only the entire kit. Anyone know where I can buy just the radius arm bushings?

    I was about to start rebuilding the rear axle on to my new chassis (Marsland) and found that the A-frame to chassis bushes will not fit. It seems that Marsland replaced the bolted on bush mount bracket (575616&575615) with a welded on mount. Looked at their web site and it says so, but also...
