are you changing the bushes & bearings in the watts linkage due to it "clunking" from the back?

Have you checked your rear ARB bushes? my disco has a slight clunk from the back but on investigating it looks likely to be the rear ARB bushes
Started out with nothing,
Still have most of it left

Are you replacing them with britpart or genuine LR part?

Yip giving me a clunking when cornering and really bad when off road.
Used brit part bushes and set from lrs and foundry 4x4 the last set have lasted longer right enough but the clunking is back!
Are they wearing because of the lift kit or just cheep parts?

I'm told the britpart ones only last about 6 months and the lr ones are the ones to go for.
