Hi Guy

I have to replace the radius rob bushes in my 720 kingcab and the local spare parts join doesn't have any in there catalogue. wondering if i can just use the d21 radius rod bushes in stead?

Does anyone think you would be able to fit a D21 instead? just thinking there might be more parts for a d21.

thanks

i can't imagine those particular bushings being much different... but you should compare them before buying

I used the torsion bar bolts from the d21 on my 720. They're a little longer but they work. The bushings should work also.
