Default Bushings and other suspension related items

Soliciting input from the Disco 1 suspension gurus out there. I have the parts below in my shopping cart at Rimmer Brothers. I'm going to purchase the parts and slowly replace the bushings and other suspension bits a little at a time to attempt to decrease the shakes and shimmy's. Is there anything below you'd suggest that I add or subtract from this list? I omitted the shock bushings since I recently replaced the shocks with Bilstein's and they came with new bushings. They offer genuine parts (too pricey), OEM parts (listed below), and aftermarket which generally aren't much cheaper than the OEM options.

Any input is appreciated.




Bush Rear Radius Arm - STC618P1 - OEM
Part No. STC618P1$17.66






Bush Rear Upper Link - NTC1773P1 - OEM
Part No. NTC1773P1$4.75 x 2 = $9.49







Bush Radius Arm Front - NTC6860P1 - OEM
Part No. NTC6860P1$9.49 x 4 = $37.97






Bush Rear Radius Arm - NTC1772P1 - OEM

I've used the ORANGE POLYBUSH for years with great results on both DI and RRC's.

One WARNING... Don't get the RED set the ride is crazy firm!!!

For Tie Rod Ends I run LEMFORDER and L8 has a decent price on these > https://www.ebay.com/itm/LAND-ROVER-...IAAOSwgopbkjCx


++ Just a HEADS-UP your count for the Tie Rods is not correct.

You need:

(3) RTC5869 RIGHT Hand Thread


(1) RTC5870 LEFT Hand Thread

Since you are at it, do the u-joints and get the heavy duty ones. Replaced all my bushings with OEM rubber and u-joints and the difference was immediately apparent!

Thanks all! Especially for the qty. discrepancy on the track rod ends. I'm sticking with the OEM bushings.

As I progress, you'll probably see additional posts from me asking for help and advice.

This forum had been an invaluable asset and I really appreciate the advice and support!

Assuming you went through the front axles already,Pivot bearings will cause all sorts of problems if they were run dry from a leaking seal at the pivot *****. been there...
