Mudski GU Build Thread

[nissannewby]

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?

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.
