Land Rover‘s Premium SUV offerings have a lot of boxes to tick, combining practicality, high-end luxury, and the ability to transition from on-road to off-road seamlessly. This is especially true for D7u/x platform vehicles, including the latest Discovery and Defender.
Naturally, given the weight and usage of these vehicles, they can be hard on their bushes, and an area that suffers most is the large oil-filled bush in the front radius arm, where excessive wheel deflection and ‘snatching’ under braking are common with wear. This can lead to excessive tyre wear, imprecise steering and braking instability.
A demonstration of this can be found in our performance comparison video.
This week’s release focuses on this area of the vehicle and provides a lasting solution for the following models:
Land Rover Defender L663 (2019 on)
Land Rover Discovery 5 L462 (2017 on)
Range Rover L405 (2012 – 2021)
Range Rover Sport L494 (2013 – 2022)
PFF32-901 Front Radius Arm Bush is a single-piece bush made in our Black 95ShA material, housed in a plated outer shell for better load distribution during acceleration and braking. It features a machine-tapered stainless-steel sleeve for the controlled articulation required to match the angular change of the arm. Combined, this gives a more direct steering feel while improving geometry consistency.
PFF32-902 Front Track Control Arm Inner Bush and PFF32-904 Front Upper Wishbone Bush are both made from our Black 95ShA material and come supplied with stainless-steel sleeves and supporting washers for reduced stiction and smooth operation of the lower and upper suspension.
Along with these new parts, we are pleased to announce the release of PFF32-903 Front Anti-Roll Bar Bush for the following models:
Land Rover Discovery 5 L462 (2017 on)
Range Rover L405 (2012 – 2021)
Made in our Black 95ShA material for greater roll resistance, the knurled bore allows for better grease retention and smooth rotation of the front anti-roll bar.
