The reason you got the response you did last time was that we don't have the foggiest what "sweeper bushes" are...

What's the problem with your Defender, that might help us to understand?  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

Hi Martin
Not sure what they are as the dealer told my wife they were leaking when she took the defender in for a service and it was a very ergent job! is it to do with the steering? best i give them a call.

It's not a phrase that I've ever heard, nor it would seem, has anyone else - just Google defender sweeper brushes and you'll see what I mean..!

Get some more information out of the dealer Thumbs Up  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

I would think they are talking about swivel bushes.

These are the big ball things on the end of the front axle, that allow drive to pass through axle whilst also allowing steering.

They have bushes which wear, and contain oil, grease, that can leak.

Just my thinking Question
