I am getting ready to replace the front radius arm bushes. This is on a 1994 NAS Defender 90. I'm getting a clunking noise when going on/off the throttle and going over speed bumps. I wouldn't be surprised if they are 30 years old! I've browsed the workshop manual, YouTubes and the parts catalog and have a plan to replace the nyloc nuts. Does anyone in the Calgary area have a hydraulic press, and the necessary experience, to get the bushes out and new ones back in place? Or is there a good shop out there that would take on such a small job? Any other words of wisdom I should be considering?
I have a press and the press tools specific to the radius arms. Sometimes you need to cut them out, but it does not add much time to the job. Pop over on a weekend.
I would suggest getting new bolts and nuts. That way everything is new when you are done. Make sure you get OEM or genuine bushings.
4 each of (2, 3, 4, 5) and 2 of (8). Optionally 2 each of (6 and 7).
Awesome - thanks John! I'll be in touch.
