So then, the swivel balls are leaking both sides, and as its due mot soon decided to get them and the seals changed.

Wheel off



Hib assembley/disc off



Half shaft extracted



Swivel ball housing



removed and cleaned up



The swivel ball





Bad pitting on the ball, which causes damage to the seal

Just read through this thread cannot fault the work that's gone into it it's awesome and looks great but for fuck sake stop fucking around with it and go and use it for what it's designed go and get some mud on it

I'd bought a lift kit wading kit and snorkel before I'd picked my disco up soon as I got it the carpets were out and it was submerged in mud and getting scraped down trees not mincing through puddles in tescos car park

I don't see what the issue is? Steve may enjoy building cars to a high standard and the project is more entertaining than the actual application of the car.

It's like bigron building his corsa then using it to potter round in and never showing it a drag strip, or a 200sx and not skidding it, certain cars are built for certain applications, I appreciate it's a good project I also find it good to follow, it's only banter, but it is screaming to be off-roaded...... Just once.....

Alright then bitches, started about my EGR removal, the aim to remove all this crap



Part removed



All the crap removed



The area now



Always pretty dubious about the claims of doing these types of things, but actually it has dramatically reduced the amount of black smoke when booting it, its almost nothing now

Dont worry about a tubular mani Steve, but if you could, chuck some boost alloys on there before it comes back up north. I right like them. Cheers
