[ROVERNET - UK] Where to find SD1 LH track control arm or LH/ RH track arm pair?

[Paul Smith]

That's called "built in obsolescence", alias "money making".  Why sell a $10
bush when you can sell a $60 arm...

Ford perfected it on the Escorts here; the tailshaft was one part (couldn't
replace the universals), and of course replacing it stuffed the seal in the
front of the diff...

Hi Pierre,
I have never understood why the SD1 control arms must be replace as an
assembly when the basicly identical (but shorter) TR7/8 arms have
replaceable bushes. It ought to be possible to replace the bushes in the
SD1 arms assuming you could find bushes the proper size.

Roverly,
Kent K.

but I have been told that the LH track control arm is slightly over the
slack tolerance, so that it would be fine to replace it. I tried to find it
i.e. the LH/RH pair without success. The RH one does'nt seem to be an issue
but the LH one doesn't seem to be available anymore (Switzerland, Germany,
France, Rimmers, Holland Rover Club, etc...).
