Three mths & 20,000 ks touring WA payed its toll in the componets fitted with polyurethane bushes . Trailing arm riped off front diff housing , front stabliser bar ripped off diff housing, snaped both upper control arms on rear diff housing. We were lucky we had welding gear on board.Towing a Camp/o/matic trailer which we had no problems with behind a Turboed 80 series.Touring the Trans Contential, Anne Beadell Connie Sue, Great Central Rd, Canning,Tablelands track,Gunbarrel,
Gibb River Rd, Out to
Walcott Inlet,up to The
Mitchell Platue,Crystal Head, &
Kalumburu .The trip finally came to a end 12ks from
Kununurra after reaching the blacktop where the pipe which the top raidator hose is connected to broke off the radiator cracking the head on 5 & 6 cylinders from over heating.Lessons learnt Stick to Genuine Bushes & fit a aftermarket low water high tempeture alarm.
