Safari Gard 3 link kit

[Mack]

For sale is a well used original Safari Gard 3 link front suspension kit with crossmember for V8. I removed this from a 95 NAS ST that I put back to stock. The Johnny joint for the center link has play and needs to be replaced. It comes with a heavy duty front anti sway bar setup which mounts to the front axle with supplied brackets. One of the machined spacers was missing when I got it and a stack of washers was used in its place. It is supplied with hardware but you will want to go over this and make sure nothing is missing- talking just nuts bolts and washers, nothing machined. With that said, the kit is in good shape and was on a truck that didn’t see much off roading because the body was immaculate and the truck had under 60k miles. For local pickup from 93923 or I could make a crate for shipping but it won’t be cheap. Price- $900

Would you sell the sway bar kit separately?

Would like to keep the sway bar with the rest of it for now. All PM’s replied

Hey, I just looked at what would be involved- it’s a lot more fabrication than I want to do. I hate to say it but it won’t work for me.

 

[Mack]

All good. Thanks for getting back to me quickly

Hey @Mack do you know if whoever purchased this has already installed this? Would have been great to get measurements off of these discontinued parts

You should buy a bunch of raffle tickets at SCARR

I actually let a fellow rover owner borrow the kit and he 3D scanned it. I’m drawing a blank now on who it was as it was a couple years ago. Though I’ve since read that Scotty O is going to reproduce them under the Safari Gard name. If I have that right.

Scotty, Can you do the version for the 300Tdi crossmember too?

If I can get a truck down here with a 300 in it, I can model something up and make it happen. I haven't been able to source one of the originals to see what differences there were.

Any changes to the geometry?

Any changes to the geometry?

Minor changes. No difference in vertical separation, which I'm assuming is the basis of the question. Someone sent me a NOS kit that was one of the last sold, which had all the revisions previously made and proven to function satisfactorily. FWIW, most opinions of poor geometry were based on the very first version.

From the limited understanding of the kit, the V8 crossmember was curved to run the exhaust below, the diesel crossmember is straight so the exhaust runs above it.

Bringing back an old thread, did this 3-link kit ever come to fruition?
