Re: ratcheting sound when under heavy load

Re: radius arm idea

since i can't edit my post... i was investigating these more and found the 1989-1998 discovery's use the ford style chassis mount and those seem to be the preferred mount. The new Mercedes-Benz G63 uses the same style arms and mounts on the civilian and military spec vehicles very interesting indeed...

Re: Astro portal axle

the prices i saw listed are above that now, there has to be a way to do it cheaper. the dynatrac ones i saw today said they couldn't retain the ABS or some electronic traction controls but they didn't have any prices on their site.
