The polybush is from your shop?

And an advise, try to see if you can fit a balljoint to the arms bush position, at the chassis side of the arm.

Mach way better articulation. I have in mine and 3 years now works perfect.

And a ''stupid'' question about breaks,

if we convert the rear breaks from drums to disk's the abs is no longer engaged, correct?

I want to go for rear full foat axleshafts and disk break convertion but i dont't want to lose abs.

With fedima cross tyres has saved me a lot from accidents.

Yes, poly bushes came from stock... I did pay for them though

Hmm, yes, presume the ABS would still work with disks on the back?... someone more knowledgeable will be along soon...

I think that the ABS would still work on the rear if Disc were fitted, as there is a gizmo that goes into the axle

yes your right ABS will still work on rear disc conversion, as the abs pickup ring is on the bearing retainer thats inside the axle

Looking real good Dave hope to see it and meet you at the Jimny get together later this year. watching this thread with interest.

Thanks Karl

Bit more today...



ORA Front Radius Arms, JimnyBits adjustable panhard rod...



Installed with just a bit of fiddling to get the bolt through the guard, spacer washer, chassis mount, bush sleeve, chassis mount, spacer washer, guard... soon sorted!



Offside with pipes again running down the girder-like ORA radius arms



Panhard rod in (with BigJimny bolts)



+3" JimnyBits Springs, +3" ProComp ES1000s, bolts, sugar-free Relentless to keep me going!



Tyres on, stolen from the Zukhini Vitara, with many thanks from Brett 'Maverick' on here who came to help... thanks matey!



Inner plastic wings need trimming when I work out where the ORA winch bumper will sit...



The whole purpose of today... get the suspension on enough to get the Jimny into the garage so that I can work on it in all weathers...

More soon!
