The accuracy of your roughcasting on the house is to be highly commended as a suitable calibration method for Land Rover engineers. Your property should be designated as Land Rover compliant by their regional Brand Standards Auditors.

Hi, I have a LR4 2016 EU6 like this car in the video and changed the front lower arms last year. I have put on the aftermarket MEYLE with reinforced bushings. They offer them with full rubber bushings instead of the fluid filled OEM-ones. As for the marketing, they are more "heavy duty" and are a better match for the weight of the car. Installation worked without problems and after 20Tkm there are no problems. Great video as always.

Its the Attention to Detail that I appreciate so much. Not just my OCD but it goes back to when I trained as a Jig & Toolmaker in the '60s. The fitters I worked with were ex GWR and so you never said 'that is near enough'! It was either right or wrong. Even the wall was plastered to the millimetre! 👏

Love LR time so much you have convinced me to buy a Discovery 4, I am also becoming a member. I was watching your old video where you swapped from 5w30 to 5w40 in your discovery 4, have you seen a long term benefit from this as I feel a higher viscosity oil is better for these engines and I think I may convert also. Keep up the amazing videos, my favourite part of Sunday mornings is watching your new uploads.
@Vera_and_Christian3 ай бұрын
It is basically not possible to make the difference visible. We do see most bearing failures from subscribers using 5W30. But the reason could be that the number of people using 5W40 is simply smaller. 5W40 is the better choice in my opinion. Christian

Hi guys from OZ. Great content punctuated with humour...good stuff. Interestingly I did this very job using aftermarket control arms and was easy. Marked and measured everything to replace as close as possible then drove 120km to my son's workshop where he did complete alignment on new computerised 4WD alignment station and had plenty of adjustment to work with. Job is 12 months old now and ride and tyre wear are spot on. Kept the old arms and removed the old bushes and will replace with new ones and reuse them next time.

When you can't fit the suspension arm into a press, the rubber bushes can be pulled out with a hollow centre hydraulic ram (or cylinder) using a threaded rod through the centre. Those pieces you turned on the lathe will be used with the hollow ram. Easier than trying to cut the bushes out.

@BearDogSUV3 ай бұрын
Yes, Hilti or demolition type hammer drills. The higher the joule impact rating the more effectively they are at removing stuck bolts but it's surprising how much even an 18v battery SDS drill will work. String alignment works really well - it takes a bit of faff to set up but gives really good results. I've set my old Peugeot Partner to 0 degree toe and it rolls for miles when I select the Mexican overdrive gear!
@PeterG-o6b3 ай бұрын
The air hammers come in different sizes - short to long piston stroke. The short have a higher frequency and the long ones lower frequency and higher impact. I have several and have found the shorter ones work best to break up the rust bond. Also, the shorter ones are the cheapest and the ones you are more likely to find in hardware stores. In addition, the air hammers easily loosen ball joint tapers. They just instantly fall out of their locked position without damaging anything. In this case, the flat head chisel is normally placed on the side of the cast upright housing and not on the taper stud head although both positions should work.
