'Numpty' Questions :)

Heya all!
Thought I'd start a thread for people to ask the questions that
seem too daft to ask, if that makes sense :)
I figure there's probably a fair few 'newbies' to proper Landies
who've got these (aswell as experienced leafer lovers such as
myself) :smilewide:
I'll start, does anybody know if the chassis bushes & spring
bushes (specifically the rear most spring bush) are the same?
I've got the rear most spring bush gone on the back of my 88" &
have some polybushes I brought for my 109", but have completely
forgotten what they are for! :rolleye0012: (& now have a full
set fitted to the 109")
soo yeah, ask any 'daft' seeming questions here, to appeal to
the collective wisdom of OLLR >rock<
xXx

Stuff like this you could answer yourself with the aid of a
parts catalogue which can be found from links in this thread
here

Find the parts catalogues invaluable on how things go together
and what things go where, also useful if ordering bits via mail
order however I always cross reference the part numbers with
LRseries just in case they have been superseded.

You may also find the likes of this...

useful. There's anotherone that searches suppliers based on teh
parts number, but I can't find it at the moment.

The only different one is the 109 S3 chassis bush. All other
chassis bushes are the same I think.

series 3 SWB front axle rear chassis bushes are longer to go
through the chassis rail

lol after selling a corset that I didn't wear anymore (have
toned up too much for it to fit :banghead ) I brought a full
polybush set :)
Next numpty question, do LWB rear springs fit onto a SWB?
Want to get some stiffer parabolics for the rear :)

I think they fit but do you really want to do it? Not
everything's better when it's stiffer. (fnarr, fnarr). I'll
wager that it'll be a bloody awful ride with LWB springs on a
SWB.

Yeah, Snotter (88" series 3) had one-ton springs on the back and
was pretty horrendous. Looked like an old hot rod though.

After the Shitpart parabolics failed miserably on the 88 I
fitted a set of second hand TI Console parabolics on the 88,
they came off a 109 one ton so the rears were 4 leaf. It's sits
arse up now but the ride isn't bad, and the rear tyres don't rub
the tub when articulating like they used to with the Shitpart
crap fitted.
