This is a conversion kit to change the (swan neck) drop arm on the Defender to the (straight) Discovery drop arm. This is a much better. Drop arm for a Defender as it eliminates the ball joint (the one that wears out quickly) that is pressed into the swan neck drop arm and replaces it with a standard track rod end which is much easier to replace. Picture 4 shows the 2 different Drop Arms, the lower one is the Straight Discovery Drop Arm that is included in our kit, as you can see it uses a track rod end and not a press in ball joint that is difficult to replace.If you are finding it difficult to remove your original drop arm with a puller, you can see in one of the pictures where a customer has cut a slot in the drop arm, it will then pull off much easier. See the last picture showing how to align the drop arm once fitted , the drop arm should point slightly towards the drivers side when driven in a straight line, also make sure you tighten and re check the nut that secures the drop arm to the steering box, this needs to be checked at least a couple of times after use due to the splined taper on the steering box. The Torque Setting for this nut is 176 NM , its is VERY IMPORTANT that the tightness of this nut is rechecked after use before finally knocking over the lock washer once you are satisfied the Drop Arm has fully worked up the tapered spline of the steering box and the nut remains tight. We can also do a kit for the early Discovery1 and RRc that don't have the straight style drop arm, you will have to contact me on this to put a kit together. 1 x SUMO-HD-830 Heavy Duty Drag Link.
