Mine needs replacing (is tough with no movement but has small cracks in)





Where can I get a decent one?

 

you can get a poly one from burton i think i got mine but a bit fiddly to fit.. their is the excact same rubber on a landrover discovery i got a brand new one last year on ebay for 25 quid.. it looks identical to the original.. i cant see any new ones on their at the mo but im sure that you could find one on the net..

 

i think the poly one is about 50 quid..

 

Cheers mate - I heard the poly ones split?

 

mine has not split but not really had any use out of the car over the last few years... feels much better to drive than the worn out old one that had split.. when the old one went i was on a dual carridgeway and it pulled the car violently to the right.. i should have checked sooner why the steering felt sloppy but i had put heat wrap around the old one years ago so didnt even check it..

 

Fair enough mate! Sounds nasty Thanks for your help

Any more for any more?

 

Motor factors should sell repair kits. They are pretty ugly though with bolts etc.

The Burton poly one looks a little neater.

 

i put some heat wrap round mine when i fitted the new one

 

heres how mine ended up when i removed it for a poly one..

and this is the same rubber fitted to an 89 - 94 land rover discovery.. just got to remove it from the discovery shaft for when the poly one dies..

i got it from island 4x4 in kent if anyone is wanting one..

 

I fitted a poly one to my m8's 3dr and it lasted about four days :-(
Very dangerous!!! Go as close to original as possible.

 

the poly one in mine is holding up ok so far .. i flattened the curved plates as the new bush is totally flat as when i first fitted it with the original brackets you could see the poly flexing where it was not clamped tight all over.. now its all compressed properly it looks to be doing its job with no visible flexing.. just wait for it to melt being next to the screamer pipe....

 

You got the entire steering arm/UJ/rubber ?

Or just a repair section for the rubber ?

 

Came as the whole thing was only 20 quid new .

 

Ahh right, it's a Landrover part. I thought you were meaning it was a Ford fitment

Is the rubber bolted on both sides then ? Or riveted like OEM parts ?

 

im sure i solid mounted mine after they got a bit hot or had hot oil dripping on them, cant remember which.

never had any problems after doing it

It's riveted same as the ford one fits the same way just different shaft. The bush is identical. . I got it for when the poly one starts to wear out .
