I keep reading that the sway bar/stabilizer bar bushings on the L322 full size are not replacement by themselves as they're apart of the entire bar unit and must be replaced together. Is this just the earlier models? I have a 2008 and I was able to buy the sway bar bushings separately, although I haven't tried to install them yet so I'm not wondering if they're correct.

Cheers

Those replaceable bushings are for the armored (bullet resistant) L322s. Those for some reason have replaceable sway bar bushings (maybe they wear out quicker because the trucks weigh so much more). but all the non armored L322's have bushings that are vulcanized to the bar and they are "not replaceable". Thats not to say you can't cut and burn the bushing off the bar with a grinding wheels and torch or something similar an use the armored bushings. The bars themselves are the same OD, so if you could bet the rubber bushing off you could use the indvidually replaceable bushings. I also have a set of those in my spare parts bucket, but its getting to cold to lay onder the truck and try to cut the old ones off my 06 so maybe in the spring I'll give it a shot.

Thanks for the iinfo. Well that's annoying, they don't list that on any of the parts websites they all show as a match. Maybe I'll give it a shot, they can't be that hard to cut off. Replacing the entire bar seems absolutely ridiculous.

Some sites do list them as for armoured (the British like those extra letters in their words) l322 B6 models only, a few others do as well but most don't specify anything other than L322 Range Rovers.

I replaced mine on the 05 not too long ago. I used a sharp filet knife from the wife’s arsenal. Believe it or not, it helped me trim off the old bushings in a matter of minutes. And then I put the new bushings on. Works fine. Wife does not know about the kitchen knife being repurposed shhhhhh

Interesting topic. I always planned to order them from Island4x4 in the UK but have yet to do so. I tried to shim one of ours to see if that would get rid of the annoying low speed knock in the front end but it made no difference. I had replaced the links to no avail. My old na vehicles always had replaceable ones and I dont think they ever caused a noise. Perhaps the bond minimised the chance of the bar moving sidewalks while the a cars would always be inspected.
