2013 Discovery 4 3.0 TDV6 S Auto Baltic Blue

I have been searching parts available locally - for my "upgrade"

I've found 2 types of bushings for the front lower arm-> one seems to be for D3 and the second for "armored" D3/RRS.

RBX500311 vs RBX500432 (for the front bush)
and
LR025159 vs LR025986 (for the rear bush)

Altoough my D3 is not armoured - are the armoured bushing stronger and do they fit the non-armoured lower arm?

I've decided to replace the balljoint at the same time - is the RBK500300 the right part no to order or is there another one re-inforced that I should order?

For all the above - is Lemforder as a non-OE OK or should I rather stay with OE LR parts?

Thanks in advance for your advice. 2013 D4 TDV6 S; Baltic Blue; IID Tool BT

I have already done this

RRS/Armoured D3 bushes fit normal D3 arms, as do the lower ball joints, RBK500300

Lemforder bushes are OEM. Same as what they would get from Land Rover, but without Land Rover tax!

Thanks a lot for the reply.

I will check the parts availability locally for reasonable pricing - but most likelly will order through advancedfactors - despite the postage the UK prices are sometimes much better than ours. 2013 D4 TDV6 S; Baltic Blue; IID Tool BT

Great thread. I just wanted to mention the Koni FSD damper is quite a bit softer than the factory D3 Damper. I've managed to fit them and have been running them for the last year.

Forget the Greek custom shocks, that was vapor hardware.

Inner Tie Rod Ends?

It does not sound like the inner tie rod ends on the armoured are any different than the standard QFK500010 for Left Hand side or QFK500020 for the Right Hand side?

Do you think if the armoured air struts were fitted to a standard D3 they would go into all the height setting. I.e. Is the restriction in off road height in the software only or the struts?
