    It was a nice day, although I did all this on the floor outside, but it's great like this. Defender is much better and more stable. Well, just new parts. But if you want to drive around America, your husband has to do it blindly. Very nice video. Thanks

      Thanks you! Always nice to have the job done inside of a workshop compared to what my husband is used to (like you, outside on the ground) :)

    The mechanic seemed to know what he was doing. Hope it helped the wobble.

      He works well and we always learn different mechanical things when we go 👍

    I up graded my Defender front arms with Adrenalin4x4 ones and swapped out my Gwyn Lewis rears for Adrenalin4x4 ones and also fitted Adrenalin4x4 rear A frame. Don't think your mechanic would lift them so easily as he did the TF front ones, they are best built ones I have found. ​

    I’m not sure but it looked like that guy has done a couple of these before. I hope the blue ones last longer than the red ones I used on my scout!

      He's seen and done quite some jobs on Defenders and different vehicles ;) We had same SuperPro kit and were happy with them compared to red poly bushes we had on before that. This is why we went for same kit.

      I've seen them before, the blue ones from GL cracked after the first event. It doesn't matter at all. It's still some better China. The important thing is to have a backup of parts and easily replace them without a press.@@offtrackfamily 👍

      The real bushes that matter are the front and rear chassis ends of radius arms. Look up UF-4514 and UF-9027 (lime Green ones) . The change in longevity and handling is outstanding. The rest of the bushes I do not make as any of the superpro units will suffice.

      Its not rocket science changing bushes.

    Wheel wobble could be and is commonly caused by wheel balance, might be worth looking into that if this doesn't sort your wobble issue.

      @offtrackfamily  10 місяців тому

      Already checked that and it's not the cause

    Polys are supposed to last a lifetime and have lifetime warranty why did you replace them instead of rebuilding them

    Superpro bushes are crap on landrovers. Especialy the 9027 rear and the 4514 front chassis ends of radius arms.

    • @offtrackfamily
      @offtrackfamily  10 місяців тому

      We previously had the same complete superpro bushings kit on our Defender and found it much better than the red poly bush kit that we had before that. So, second round for our Defender with SuperPro bushes!

      ​@@offtrackfamily Superpro bushes are good for the basic bushes but not the complex needs of the front radius arm chassis end or the rear trailing arm chassis end. I have a Discovery 1 1994 and spent years fixing the issues with these bushes for damping on corrugated roads, high flex, tighter handing, and high higher shock loads. They are greaseable, mainly to flush the mud and sand from the internals. Cost me 1,000's to develop and test the bushes , but they are proven around AU and even in Rock crawling with 10:1 under drives and Super Pro do NOT survive more than one outing rock crawling. Several Defenders did the Gibb River all fitted new bushes and took spares. Only mine lasted and kept going for years later. The bushes used were SuperPro, OE, BritPart, and Ultraflex4x4.
