Ok, I have suffering from steering for a while and this morning whilst walking the dogs at an ungodly hour the beast decided enough was enough and she spat a load of oil out of the back of the drivers side wheel. My problem is always diagnosis of the problem at hand but research suggests it may be the swivel joint and I am therefore going to attempt to fix her on Saturday.
Is there a good you tube type video you friendly types can direct me to for much needed guidance?
Is anyone available in the North Surrey area on Saturday (27th) as I am driving up to Scotland next week so need this to get done (beers or payment will be provided!!), I have tools and will get parts but could do with a leg up!
As always hoping that the ever giving forum will come up trumps. All replies greatfully received and please move this to the relevant section as I am never quite sure where to post?!?
 
Hi Musicman,

Youtube video should help.




Oh, for it to be moved, You would need to say what the vehicle was......LOL

Cheers

Watch this video and part 2. Rob is a top mechanic and works for Land Rover - one of the best videos if you need a start to finish guide.

 
Nothing to it. Just put a comfortable cushion under your bum as it is a rather long job. Crouching will cripple you for a week.
 
Musicman - I've just done this job. I was terrified and was just about to undergo major surgery before attempting it, but it turned out to be dead straightforward. The only issue I had was the N/S stub axel was buggered. The wheel bearing kept jamming on it, so at £24 I replaced it. It's a great time to replace brake disks, Wheel bearings etc.

Any issues ask away, everyone is so helpful on here!
