This is a bit confusing. Last service I had my spanner man change the diff and tranfer box fluids using the correct Mopar spec oils.
Are you saying that this additive should have been used as well, or only if you experience a problem ?
Do you have Quadradrive?Are you saying that this additive should have been used as well, or only if you experience a problem ?
I don't know if it was standard on all Overlands, but it was an optional extra on all other 2.7's (only standard on the petrol versions).
If you have (Quadradrive), then you will have Vari-lock front and rear axles and so need to additive.

I want to search for this "4play" shop but I'm worried the Google search results may be.. inappropriate. Does he have a website?
You should have heard the comments from 'Goods In' last time I ordered fluids from 4 play

Be warned - Greg's a cracking bloke and knows his stuff but can talk the hind legs off a donkey
ETA - the above comment relates to the fact that they do not have a direct web sales system - you need to call and pay over the phone.
On the plus side, he only displays on his website what he physically has in stock.

Shame they dont seem to be selling the Addco rear sway bars for the GC.
The yanks seem to swear by them as a "must do" upgrade.
I'll be ordering mine from the states, but the shipping is a bit steep !
How much are they, could be interested in one for mine & we could share the P & P?The yanks seem to swear by them as a "must do" upgrade.

If you're looking at buying from the US then try
www.summitracing.com
They have a 10 day lead time on the Addco kits, but the prices are good and they have some fantastic prices on shipping, I've got an 86lb (39kg) box heading from them to Dubai filled with parts and the shipping cost was $360 for a 3 day service.
Be careful though, their website just seems to encourage spending money, this is my second large order in a week!

Yep Summitt racing was the site I looked at.
I'll have to go back and check, but the sway bar + 2 new greasable bushes (recommneded) + thier shipping method which also includes import taxes came in around £200 (ish) when I looked last week. (I think they take paypal)
If we had a couple of guys here that wanted to place an order I supose we could contact them and ask about a reduced shipping cost ?

From their website today :
Sway bar (P/N:ACO-684) $156.59
Energy suspension $15.95
Bush kit
(P/N:ENS-9-5161G)
i-parcel delivery $121.87 ($80 delivery + $40 duty)
inc taxes
TOTAL Dollars $306.36
Exchange rate
£1 = $1.60
TOTAL Pounds £192.00 by my man maths.
The only saving is from the $80 delivery, but they would only ship to one address, then we need to split the delivery over here and pay to ship to our own address.
Dont think there would be anything in it for the extra work would there ????

You may want to think about fitting a set of these to the rear lower control arms......
poly bush
The difference these made to the ride quality and handling was astounding - and that's without poly bushing anything else.
£160 for 4 poly bushes seems expensive in the extreme ??poly bush

I've just paid £85 each for the arms complete!
We are talking about the arms that connect the sway bar ends to the chassis here ? I just had mine changes for the MOT and Im sure my spanner man charged me £88 for the pair.I'll check that tonite.
