Notice any difference (the upper-old one is +2 pro comp)
got my rose joints for the rear arms, not sure why they sent so many half nuts?

I've had an idea to overcome the limits of the ball joint on the rear by using a large rose joint mounted upright.
It would have unlimited movement left and right - for articulation, and normal movement up and down which would be fine as up and down travel is not very important.
My question is what size rose joint would be required, is there any info on how strong the existing ball joints are?
The ball joint has a 20mm bolt protruding from it, so as long as its larger and stronger i would assume it would be all good, right?

found some rather large rod ends!
Rod Ends (Spherical Bearing, PTFE Liner) > Male Rod Ends > Rod Ends > Bearings :: Bearing Boys
they are going to email me a spec sheet for a few of the larges ones.

someone just put a nice post up of some of the newer bush's (well there instead of bush's)
and the have less restrictions as they are a ball joint, wonder if they have more flex over a normal bush?

Just found this,A Frame Joint - Suspension - Range Rover Classic - 1 of 1 - Qt Services
I would be mounting it differently mind you, but it answers my question on will it work!
This is how I plan to mount it.
Anyone got one of these and know how big the rose joint used on it is?

Hey guys, got a question about poly bush's, got my new arms ready to weld up, abut before I do I want to make sure they are ready, on the axle end in going to poly bush the joint rather than a standard bush, the design looks a lil different, it seems to have a flared bit that sits between the side of the arm and the axle mount, but the normal bush doesn't.
Is there any modification required to get the poly bush to fit. this is what I'm talking bout

funny you guys say that, I've heard allot of bad press about them, so what the alternative?
The old rubber/metal ones, the new D3 ball joint bush or is there an alternative?
