I finally finished doing the swivel pre-load on both sides of the Rover. What a PITA in the cold. I also installed the D90 rotors and calipers on and currently I am in the process of installing SS Brake lines. I noticed my Tie Rod Ends are bad. I bought the QH ones from Rovah Farm that are greasable. Does anybody have any recommendations or am I good to go with these? I bought 3 Right Hand and 1 Left Hand thread tie rod ends. Are they even called bloody tie rod ends or ball joints? I keep getting mixed reviews.

 

I think the British call them ball joints and the rest of the world calls them tie rod ends. I learned that in a YouTube video by Atlantic British.

The rest of your post leaves me with a feeling of happiness for your success, but I am too mechanically uninclined to know precisely why I have that feeling. Better brakes for all discoveries is definitely a good thing. Congrats.

 

It would be a big improvement if the brakes worked well on these suckers. I would be interested to know how they come out when you're finished. Best of luck !

 

Where did you get the d90 calipers and rotors from?

 

I got mine from Justin @ Lucky8

 

Justin at LUCKY 8. I bought mine over two years ago and never installed them. Time will tell. I'm excited.

 

So the QH grease able ball joints are good to go?

 

I run them on Rovertracks HD steering. Grease them when I grease the drive shafts and they have been good so far.

 

How often do you grease the driveshafts? I had no clue the DS were greasable... I might need to rebuild those. Whoops.

 

I'v had the QH ball joints for a couple thousand miles now,so far so good. Jelly you have D90 brakes.
