TD5 Axle & Swivel Bearings and Cranked Radius & Trailing Arms

In this episode we do a how to guide on changing Land Rover Defender TD5 wheel and swivel bearings, using the correct spacers, shims and measuring the end float. We also install some 3 degree cranked radius and trailing arms to resolve to out of whack axle geometry caused by the 2 inch lift kit.

When you set the front swivel preload you had the swivel ball seal fitted and the cv, it's meant to be done without the seal and cv. I usually convert the Td5 type wheel bearings to the twin nut 300tdi type, means you can throw the spacer away and adjust the bearings easier,costs buttons to do. 👍

Thanks Lee, glad you enjoyed it, hopefully we will be into something more interesting that axles soon 👍🏻

hey guys, what's happening to the build?

[@rustandoil]

Good work 👍
There certainly is a lot of parts on the Defender front axle.....
Did you observe the two special swivel to axle case bolts?

[@BUST2BUILT]

There sure are...definitely takes longer when you do bearings and races twice 😂😂😂. Didn’t notice special bolts, what are they?

[@rustandoil]

@@BUST2BUILT All perfectly explained by this chap.... He's detailing his Puma Defender rebuild in fine detail.....

@@rustandoil interesting, don’t think I came across that in the book. Didn’t read it too thoroughly though 😂 we have been using LR workshop for parts numbers and now I think I understand why there are two part numbers for what seemed to be the same bolts. I will get a couple of these and chuck them in the top two. Thanks for the tip and noticing this as we didn’t 👍🏻

@@BUST2BUILT LR Workshop is a really great resource and nice chap too! 👍

[@BUST2BUILT]

It sure is to both counts. I follow him on TH-cam and it’s amazing someone has made such an incredible resource and shared it for free 👍🏻
