qt services radius arms

i now need these for my discovery after fitting more trick bits to the suspension,

been searching the web and found a site with a good price, but it asks whether you want 3 deg narrow or 3 deg wide, whats the difference and why? and what ones do i need?

cheers dont want to order the wrong ones!

3 degree arms will correct a 2" lift ( they also do 6 degree for a 4" lift, and 0 degree for standard) The wide or narrow bit refers to the width of the radius arm where the bush fits at the axle end. Later vehicles had wider arms than earlier vehicles. I think it changed with the 300tdi but i'm not definate on that. I would just measure the arms that are on your vehicle and give them the measurement, they should be able to sort you out. In reality it doesn't matter anyway, as long as you fit the apropriate bushes for the arms either will fit the vehicle as the axle mounts are the same. :)

I would reccomend that you paint the arms before you fit them. They come gold passivated and they soon look crappy! :)

I'm told Defender are different to RRC/Disco, then agian early RRC are different too.. Ask Qt for advice, and buy direct it has to be the cheapest option.

ok, just browsinf for prices at the mo

if i have got lower turrets and shok mounts do i need 6 deg or is it just the spring height that makes a difference.

can you buy direct from qt?

It's only the spring height that makes the difference on the caster angle & yes you can buy direct from QT. :D

Just to give you a choice, Scorpion Racing also make them.

IIRC when I got mine from Scorpion they were about Ã‚Â£40 cheaper than QT so it's smart to have a phone round. :mrgreen:

I got mine direct from QT and they did not come with bushes!

Budgie · « **Reply #10 on:** February 26, 2006, 18:58:35 »

The Scorpion one don't come with bushes either, I was lucky and had not long had polybush's in so was able to just swap them onto the new arms.

oh rite, ive seen qt ones advertised on a website sold with bushes (blue polybush) price looks ok but as said before and advised phone round needed
