Default anyone into landrovers? discovery 1 Q?

hi, i have a discovery 1 that i use for off roading but ive developed a knock on the rear end, now id call the bar/ bush thats worn a V bar thats what we call them on trucks anyway. ive bein searching the net an i cannot find a replacment or a bush kit doin a search for "discovery 1 V bar" or "anti tramp bar" but ive had no look. now the bar is attached to the top of the rear diff housing & its sort of a ball joint/bush with 2 arms coming off it going to the chassis in the shape of a V hence the use of the term V bar.

can anyone tell me what landrover call these or were i can find a bar/bush kit.


cheers nic
