Rear Trailing Arm Hole Reinforcement

A problem which is showing up a little more often nowadays is the ovaling of the hole in the rear subframe mount of the trailing arm. The fix might just work as the prevention and this article explains how.

The subframe bolt tyre protector.

A modification to the rear subframe of the Moke to protect the tyre from damage, getting a gapping hole torn in it, from a failed trailing arm pin.

Installing Jacking Rings in the rear subframe.

A modification to the rear suspension of the Moke that raises not just the ride height but alsothe suspension travel and reduces the risk of snapped trailing arm pins. The modification using Jacking Rings appears to have come originally come from Robin Booth, a life memebr of the Moke Owners Association.

Are Your Donuts Stuffed?

Donuts are the heart of a Mokes suspension. Unfortunately they wear out, making your Moke look a bit down at the front. Here's how to tell if they need replacing.

Replacement for Shock Absorber bolt on rear trailing arm.

Replacing the rear shock absorber mounting stud with a bolt can save you the time, effort and expense of having to remove the remains of a broken stud from the trailing arm which is becoming more common as the Mokes get older. A fairly simple task that can be done on the bench during a restoration or spending an hour or less in the garage jacking up the rear of the Moke, either way much quicker than the three to four hours you might spend trying to remove the remains of the stud if it breaks.

DIY Wheel Alignment

Getting the front wheel alignment right on your Moke can make it feel more responsive to drive, can make your tyres last a whole lot longer and because there is really only one adjustment, the Toe, then you can do it yourself. Not having the front wheels aligned properly can lead to excessive tyre wear, less direct response when cornering and the most noticeable the tendency to pull the car to the left or right when you want to travel it straight ahead. You will need a Ball Joint Breaker, otherwise the rest of the tool should be in your toolbox.

Off Road Tyre Choices

Mokes left the factory wearing Winter Tread style tyres that were probably practical for the agricultural market but a pretty poor choice for the bitumen. For some people though it is a look they want to re-create on their Moke, an aggressive chunky tyre type look while for other owners looking to go bush, the diminishing range of 13" passenger tyres just aren't really suitable and new Winter Treads tyres aren't available. The only choice, read more expensive, available is the small range of competition rally tyres and in this article I attempt to identify what is available.

Wheel Studs

Mokes have been fitted with a few different wheel studs over the years. If you need to replace them, it is important that you use the correct ones.
