Gents, I have the option to buy a 2nd hand ATB with 10,000km at half the price of a new one.

Worth it? What could be wrong in there that a visual inspection won't reveal?


Given your location as long as the unit is in good nick then I would jump on that. Thumbs Up

^ And so I did!

Got it fitted, and straight away noticed the following:

- the steering is a lot heavier
- there is a lot more understeer now
- the steering doesn't return to centre as quickly

Oh well, gone are the days of slinging it around the many traffic circles in town then Rolling with laughter --

Never fear Naks it does improve a lot Thumbs Up Give it time and you'll find that the ATB will loosen up a bit and the understeer will reduce and the steering lighten. Or you will grow bigger muscles Rolling Eyes

I can still get my landy and a trailer through tyre chicanes on race circuits at the same speed I could before getting a front ATB fitted.

At full lock, e.g., turning in & out of a parking bay, there's some grabbing - is that normal? Any way to dial it back a touch? --

^ yep, those very same ones. no wonder the tyres were grabbing at full lock.

took it back, and they fitted them on the spot, and adjusted the handbrake as well, it was clanking at low speeds. --

Did a trail this weekend, it was raining quite a bit, so slippery gravel/rocks.

Not sure the front ATB made a big difference, TBH... --

While investigating a clunk in the rear diff when taking off from standstill, this is what we found:

there was also no play at all on the crown when cold, so it was eating the rear side shafts. --

Unfortunately whatever is in your link requires the installation of an "app" (which I have no intention of doing) and is not viewable without.

Any clues why this happened?

It can be fixed I reckon

dunno, I started experiencing a clunk when driving from standstill, so this is what led us here.

This Ashcroft ATB was installed in August 2017, and has done about 24,000km. So I guess the bearings eventually got loose enough to start causing the issue? --

Hello,
I need help.
Which cv-joint (abs) is good enough to replace the original one in defender td5. I am restoring the front axle and installing ashcroft ATB at the same time. The front sprocket bolt 1/10 broke (driven 280,000km) and broke some the insides. I think that the original cv-joint is already a little worn out, even though the pores of the camshafts are still good. What is britparts cv-joint quality? or Febi, Triscan, FAG

Thanks for the advice! defender 110 td5 2006
