I posted a couple of weeks ago about a thumping noise I was hearing in the back end, eventually it got worse and I began to hear it more. I checked under the truck today and say this. looks like something broke or became worn out. Does anyone have any idea what this is?

 

I can assure you my truck does not have that, is that ACE?

 

It is not a hook for launching from an aircraft carrier; it is the torsion bar support link; there should be another by the driver side.
The torsion bar runs above under the body floor.

Crap. Now I think I do have ACE though since I do have a reservoir for it. It does look like the part though. Is this a pain to install? Is it a costly part? I'm always between a rock and a hard place with this truck.

 

Here it is connected for reference, and according to the link sent, it appears to cost $249 or $21, not sure? Maybe it can be found cheaper? Like HERE. If it's actually $21 from RoversNorth, I'd buy from them to support them. Looks like a really easy install:

 

Ahh if it's just the link yeah, here's the part: LINK ASSY ANTI ROLL BAR REAR DII , RGD100682, RND814, PLD814 - Land Rover Parts | Rovers North

The Genuine one has a sky-high price, I would never pay the amount they want for it.

 

Now only if I can find somewhere in Canada that sells them for that fantastic price.

 

Dude, you do have ACE. The link you need is a different part number than the one posted. Because it bolts solidly to the arm actuated by the cylinder, it as a ball joint at the top end. The only places I can find that seem to carry them are in the UK or Australia: Rear Sway Bar Link Land Rover Discovery 2 with ACE - All Four X 4 Spares. Maybe Paul Grant has a nice used one.

 

The link you posted is the same Genuine part number posted above, it's the same part. The ACE equipped rear uses the same link, here's an image of the ACE setup and I drew an arrow to the same RGD100682 link.

 

Not quite as good, $27, but these might be decent prices in CA?
