RR Bush Size

Post by beebee »

Anybody know what the ID of a Range Rover radius arm - chassis end bush is. The "donut' type one. I think this is the application. Basically the one that is used on the top of the rear trailing arms on Sam, POS and probably BJ's vehicles.

Are there any other manufacturers that make a similar style of bush but in different sizes? I need a 20mm ID.

I can't remember but 20mm would be BLOODY close!

In fact it wouldn't surprise me if that is the size!

The ID of the front radius arm bush on a GQ is 24mm.

Are we talking about the same bush. I measured a GQ coil cab today. The bush that I'm referring to is at the chassis end of the front radus/trailing arm. Maybe the thread on the rear of the arm is smaller and it has a larger part that goes through the bush? Without pulling it apart, this wasn't obvious.

I am talking about the front radius arm bush that attaches the cast leading arm to the chassis. The bush ID is 24mm, the threaded section is smaller at 16mm.

Thanks Troy!

Makes me wonder what part HSV Rangie was referring to when he said 20mm?

Thanks for everyone's help.

The thread size on the front radias arm is 20mm chassy end.

The pic shows chassis ends of: radius arm (left) and rear lower arm (right).

Pin on rear lower arm on later rangies may be 20mm but this one (1979) measures 16mm.

The radius arm pin is approx 22mm . ID of bracket on chassis is approx 36mm.

What happened to options for attaching pics?
