Radius arm bushes are pain but they will make difference to handling if you still on the originals

Are we talking the front or rear here because I remember a thread not so long back where a member spent days trying to shift the bastids on the front.

Probably the radius arms then they were the hardest to get out

I have toyed with getting a spare pair of radius arms refurbishing them a quick swap, but they are not cheap second hand

Bloke I went to had a bloody great press gave him the new ones and he had never done a Range Rover before even he said they don’t fit but he persevered with then and got them all in

The trick is a tapered tool to allow the Bush to be squeezed to reduce the outside diameter so it enters the radius arm hole.I managed using hose clamps to squeeze the Bush.size of press is irrelevant.

Yer Alan I got a bearing taper for him then he sorted it was bloody tight fit still but worth the effort to have originals
