Where can I source non Britpart Swivel hubs etc
By: PROPERJOB Date: August 8, 2016, 7:20 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I fitted Britpart swivel hub kit kits to a different land rover
a few years ago and all was fine so thought I would take a
chance again this time but I am struggling with a number of
different issues, primarily the fit of the Railko bushes in the
chrome ball but also having assembled one side it looks like
when I put all the hubs and wheels on etc that I will have quite
a camber angle (i.e toe in on the vertical plane). Add in what
looks like some pitting on the balls already I am ready to
return to vendor/bin it if
Please can anybody recommend where I can get some genuine bits
that will hopefully fit and last more than 5 mins?

But how certain can we be that they aren't all the same standard
and all from the same factory, just differing in the packaging
they arrive in?

Thanks for the replies, I will follow up the links. Having
looked at bearmach, allmakes etc before they look the same as
Brtipart ones which suggests the same factory alas. Had a look
on ebay, £175 is a bit of a gulp but if they last more than
twice the length of the aftermarket ones then in the long run it
is worth it.
