are all rover swivel balls the same? what knuckles will fit on the disco swivel, namely a knuckle that has a steering arm in the front. having this set up will save a multitude of problems.

A coupla years ago, I made a similar request and John of Rovertym fame responded with the part number nadhte caveats of why it wasn't a good idea. Somewhere, there is a part number for the left-hand swivel with the steering arm in front. Peace, PT marc olivares 03-26-2006, 12:29 AM all knuckles sold new in the states now have both front and rear joint ears. any dealer or aftermarket parts place has them.

Peace, PT the panhard can be dealt with.:flipoff2: as for you and your rollie eyes...... i know it has been done before, and i do sort of remember the answer you gave me on the phone a long time ago. but i was looking for more of an "outside the box" solution. mark, thank you, that was what i am looking for. now if i could find one for cheaper used......:cool2: in the new issue of fourwheeler there is a guy with a very nicely built disco and he has a nice crossover built. mongosd2 03-26-2006, 08:44 AM Aaron...give me a call, i know where there is a complete front axle, which u could probably harvest for parts... frank PTSchram 03-26-2006, 09:37 AM but i was looking for more of an "outside the box" solution. I can't do that any more, not with the new job:flipoff2: The factory says we can't do that, it has to be returned to stock, give me your wallet, title to the car and deed to your house, I'll call you when it's done! aloharover 03-26-2006, 11:42 AM are all rover swivel balls the same? what knuckles will fit on the disco swivel, namely a knuckle that has a steering arm in the front. having this set up will save a multitude of problems. No I believe that Series balls are larger. For a stock Disco ball, contact any of the wreckers in the UK. You just need a left hand knuckle from a RHD vehicle. ps. this has been discussed sooo many times here. Hell look at 64rvr question about steering, its still on the front page. aaron t 03-26-2006, 12:25 PM I can't do that any more, not with the new job:flipoff2: The factory says we can't do that, it has to be returned to stock, give me your wallet, title to the car and deed to your house, I'll call you when it's done! ok, so pm me and when you do send me your real phone number, not the poor bastard that i left an obscene message with:flipoff2: oops, just realized after i posted this that i wrote the # wrong into my fone aaron t 03-26-2006, 12:27 PM Aaron...give me a call, i know where there is a complete front axle, which u could probably harvest for parts... frank ok, smart guy:flipoff2: what is your phone number...... btw, unless you want it published on this website, just check your pms and call me. welcome to tucson. we have a fun little group of rovers out here. | |
