Rovahfarm has kits. The bottom pin is not the issue it's the top. Weight and gravity make it seem like it's the bottom when your checking. It's worn at the top and sagging just enough to allow the bottom pin to become loose. At the mileage you have it's time for rebuilding both sides. Talk about smooth once your done......

You'll need to make an analog of the tool to use your torque wrench to set the preload correctly. Don't do the fish scale method, wrong for the year you have.

 

Explain? Never heard this before.

 

Explain what? Not following you.

 

I believe he means elaborate on the torque wrench method. I was reading the procedure in the RAVE and it looks like we use a torque wrench for ABS Discos.

 

Anything else I should buy/replace while I am in there? My swivel ***** leak quite a bit. Should I worry the CV joints?

 

Non-ABS=Fish scale method
ABS=torque wrench method

Never saw that before. Thanks.

 

FWIW I took the disco on a ride and got her up to speed into the 70's. It rides very, very nice. There is still a little bump-steer/roll-steer issue, but I am hedging my bets that new swivel pins will clean that up.
