This long arm kit made entirely in Italy is composed of a pair of reinforced struts 25cm longer and stretched than the original ones complete with everything needed for assembly, are recommended to restore the correct geometry of the rear suspension when using raised structures with much mobility .
It is easy to install on the TD4 and TD5 models, on the previous models that mount the side tank the kit can be mounted only if you move the tank to the rear. For the installation it is necessary to cut the original brackets and weld the pair of brackets supplied to the kit that have an unpainted part designed to be welded, it is possible to move back the position of the rear axle to increase stability but being adjustable they can be installed even on keeping the pace unchanged, you will still have a significant improvement in stability both on the road but especially off-road.
The johnny joint, present in the strut, is free to rotate along its axis allowing maximum excursion of the strut itself and limits its lateral rotation so as not to jeopardize road stability.
For the construction of the johnny joint C45 steel is used and the sliding is guaranteed by two unprinted shells made from solid with a high quality semi-crystalline polymer, with high mechanical strength and very low coefficient of friction, the use of these materials it makes it practically free of wear even with extreme uses and allowing precise movements and an excellent absorption of vibrations.
Are made of 6mm thick alloy steel tube, are galvanized and polyester powder coated, the bushings are made from solid and welded with TIG technology; the connections on the bridge correspond perfectly to the original connections, while those on the frame are connected by means of a pair of brackets, also made of steel and welded with TIG technology, which allow the use of a 20mm oversized pin.
The bushing on the framehas been replaced by a completely revisablejohnny jointspherical joint, made internally by HM4X4 and designed specifically for the suspension of theDefender, the fine pitch thread allows the millimeter adjustment of the length of the single strut (0.75mm per revolution).
