Control arm bushes
Posted: Thu Jan 15, 2015 7:44 am
Hi all
Following many frustrated hours of being told my diff is on its way out and that it needs to be replaced / repaired, my Paj did a 5000Km trip through Namibia with no hitches at all.
2 days before the trip (and deciding to take the Paj over a M Class) I took it to a racing mechanic who found that my rear lower control arm bushes are stuffed.
This is where the vibrations / noises come from that have been worrying me (seen here: https://www.pajeroclub.co.za/forum/view ... =55&t=6051)
Under load the torque pushes the lower control arms forward and the bolt basically transmits some vibrations into the "chassis" as the bushes are shot.
Now, I want to replace all that is a bush, rear and front.... Any advice on where to get these apart from Part hunt (second hand) or the stealers?
Lot cheaper than a replacement diff
