Spec sheet

Collected from 1 supplier page - confirm fit with the supplier before ordering.

The Discovery 2 L318 is one of the few production vehicles ever to use a Watts linkage as part of its rear suspension geometry, and it is one of the features that makes the platform uniquely capable at controlling rear axle location under load. The RGX100970 is the outer Watts linkage bar bush, the rubber insert that sits within the transverse link eye of the rear Watts linkage assembly. This bush serves as the primary wear interface between the linkage bar and its mounting point, absorbing lateral forces, dampening road vibration, and maintaining precise axle tracking as the suspension cycles. When these bushes wear out, the rear axle begins to move laterally under load, producing handling vagueness, clunking over bumps, and accelerated wear in surrounding suspension components. This listing offers the RGX100970 bush available as a single unit or as a set of two, giving you the flexibility to replace one side or address both transverse links in a single order. Since the Watts linkage uses two outer bushes, one at each end of the transverse bar, ordering a set of two is recommended when carrying out a thorough suspension refresh. The bush is a press-fit component, meaning it is designed to be pressed into the linkage eye using a hydraulic press or appropriate bush pressing tool. Attempting to install or remove this bush without proper press equipment can result in damage to the linkage eye or incomplete seating of the bush.
