Swivel Housing
Thursday, January 13th, 2011
A common land rover part which you need to keep an eye on is the Swivel Joint. Often if the land rover is left standing for some time or corrosion damages the actual swival ball then you’re likely to get oil loss. Not only would this not be good for the swivel joint itself, but also could cause damage to the CV (Constant Velocity) joint. Recently I rebulit the complete swivel housing and while at it replaced the brake disc, wheel bearing and all seals. The result is fantastic. No more leaking oil and the steering is perfect.
However, yet again I could not contemplate buying the land rover parts in Ireland, just way too expensive and no one has stock.
