Hey guys, great vid. Very helpful. However, I am wondering about the naming of the parts. Unless I am mistaken, it's the Drag Link which connects to the Pitman Arm (what you pull off and replace at the beginning of the video) and Track Rods (what you take off before fitting the new radius arms) is what sits at the back of the wheels and keeps them both 'tracking' in the same direction?
Nice one guys. How come every forum posting about radius arm replacement talks about jacking the chassis then jacking the axle to remove. I thought it must be able to be done with the wheels on the ground (or on the 4 poster as in your video!) - theres only some front & rear pressure on the mountings I would have thought. Anyway, gonna watch some more of your videos later - once I've got my radius arm bushes replaced!!
I did it on the ground wheels on you just have to shock the tires and do 1 radius arm at the time and jacking the axle will only be need it to tilt axle as desire to get the front bolt of the radius arm on as it gets stiff if you dont
Nice job, thanks for share!!!

Sure thing, came out on Friday 6th May. Available from Amazon and Ebay. Ebay is from us direct and a bit cheaper! Search for Rugged Guide.
Been nice if torque settings were shared
Half grunt past that'll do
This is not the greatest video tutorial. Very misleading. Some poor practices. Sorry, not how I’d want to do my vehicle.
I think this is quite an old video. Hopefully my skills have improved since then!
