radius arm bushings

[James Fulcher]

I just got 4 radius arm bushings to replace the original, exhausted bushings on my 95 D1, and the new one's look nothing like the original and are much larger. The salesman @ Atlantic British assured me they are the right ones but I dont see how they can work. Has anyone else seen this or have any insight. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Those look like the bushings that go at the rear threaded end of the radius arm.

You need these http://www.roverparts.com/ProductList.cfm?Vehicle=D1&PerPage=1&ListType=DETAIL&PartNumber=NTC6860 for the front holes in the radius arm. They have to be pressed in and it's much easier to take the arms off and take them to a shop that has a press (I took mine to a large truck alignment/spring shop - very inexpensive and only took a few minutes).

yes, those are the correct ones for the radius arm to frame ear connection.

by chance are you confusing them w/ the axle to radius arm bushings?

I wanted to replace the rubber bushings on the threaded part. But the original ones are much smaller, even given wear, and the new ones are larger than the threaded bolt they go on. Does anyone happen to have any pics of how theres look after using the new bushings. These look like I will have about a 1/8" play around the bolt. Which seems like would serve no perpose that loose. Thanks

Hmmmm

Mine slipped right on but are still snug...not as loose as 1/8" of play though. I used OEM rubber BTW.

Wish I was of more help to ya.
