four-wheel-drive Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 I was thinking about land rover and there use of the front axle Swivel Ball thing I have never seen one on any other make of 4x4 Rover seem to think that they have a good thing as they have not changed it much over the years that they have used them. If they are so good you would have thought that others would have used them the patent must be out of time by now. I do wonder some times if I am going to were my brain out thinking about things that other people have probably never given a second thought to. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
