Many thanks for posting this excellent video! It makes a change to see a Defender on a youtube video that does not look like it has been buried at sea for 10 years. The underbody of your Defender looks really nice condition, and that does make working on it much easier, I always find a good pressure wash before work makes things a lot less of a problem. Well done! Chris B.
Pro tip, get a Makita DTW1002Z. The tightest bolts come off as though they were finger tight. I've had nuts my breaker won't budge and this Makita whipped it off.
I've done a few jobs under my defender and removing bolts takes most of the time, and decided that from now on i will cut any and all bolts off and replace them. I wont bother struggling on my back under the car, and now i order the parts with the bolts if not included.
in Video looks easier but I am sure there must have been lots of swearing! I also replaced one and bushes. Removing old bushes were annoying! Next time I will do wheel off as it was very heard to alight the holes!
Hi I got the radius arms on eBay I think just a random seller. I find the Land Rover parts sellers on eBay to be pretty good value and reliable . Thanks
Hi I didn't have any symptoms regarding the radius arms . I just noticed when changing the springs that the bushes seemed a bit worn. The results I can't say I noticed anything specific but with all of the worn parts that I am slowly replacing I think my defender is defeniatly running and driving better. And I must say The best result is the satisfaction of doing the work my self. and I can honestly say if I can do it anybody can . Have Fun Thank you.
@@TD5PRESERVATION-1428 Perfect. I doing the same to a softdash Range Rover Classic....slowly restoring bits here and there. I trying to tackle things as they come up or when there is a clear risk/reward. I just replaced the shocks and air ride shocks, next are the sway bar bushings. I might just inspect the radius bushings and leave them as is for a while.
Be aware copper grease is abrasive, should use ceramic grease / antifret paste etc. Copper grease has not really had a valid application on a car since the 80's.Best place for it is the bin! Great video!
@Kiss-My-Aura. That is a strange statement! Copper grease is not sold as a lubricant, but an anti seize grease, a job that it does very well, it is applied to faces that are not moving, like screwed fixing to prevent these from seizing up and make them easier to remove, manifold nuts and exhaust fixings are a typical application, it is definitely not to be used as a lubricant, although the statement that it is "abrasive" is a rather strange, and inaccurate thing to say?

GLAD TO SEE YOUR PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE AS UNDERSIDE LOOKING GOOD ALL THE BEST
Hi yes Preservation. Thank you
I've done a few jobs under my defender and removing bolts takes most of the time, and decided that from now on i will cut any and all bolts off and replace them. I wont bother struggling on my back under the car, and now i order the parts with the bolts if not included.
Hi Yes I am always prepared to cut off old bolts . But it is a bonus if the do come undone Thanks .
Cracking honest vlog and thanks for sharing.
Thank you.
Congratulations

Hi yes I found wheel off easier, but body does move .so I used strap to align holes. Good luck thanks
Are you able to provide a link to where you sourced your radius arms? Great vid

Great video. Question.....what were your symptoms that led you to replace the radial arms? And more importantly, how was the result? Thank you.
