    Mudski GU Build Thread

    So last year I had this terrible rattle under the Patrol when on rough’ish roads.
    Long story short, the bush used in the drop boxes that sits in where the radius arm used to sit had worn and was rattling about. This was on the RHS. So after some phone calls it was apparent that I could not buy this bush alone and had to buy new drop boxes just to get a new bush. FFS right. So I welded the bush in.
    Now the RHS is gone. Ugh!

    So it looks like I will be welding this bushing in too. Not ideal but what does one do?

    Also @ Cuppa this is a leaking front axle seal.

    Thanks to Covid. It’s only
    Leaking due to lack of use. So a big job just to replace one seal. Yeah Phark it!

    Put some weld in the hole in the chassis then die grind until the push is a tap in fit. Unlikely that bush is worn the hole in the chassis will be.

    That was another thought but I am not the best welder and my only die grinder is a big feck off Milwaukee die grinder. I would struggle to use this and get the hole round enough. But I'll have another look tonight. Another thought was to push some thin metal sheeting into the hole between the bush to take up the space. Or just weld the bush in like the other side. Its not like they are a serviceable item anyway. dunno...

    I've got an air grinder if you want to borrow should fit in fine. . Can always grind most and finish with a file. . Grinding most off anyways so doesn't matter if welds look dogey lol. .

    Thanks mate, I have an air grinder too but my compressor is that small I would burn it out. Lol. I'll reassess tonight. I'll probably go the easy way and just weld the bush in to be honest.

    You could get the bush built up with spray metal and then turned down to the correct size - and run a matching reamer through the hole to ensure a good fit. Most good machine shops should be able to do this.

    That sounds like a lot of work there mate. I like my idea. Haha! Can you tell I can't be bothered?
