Leaning Disco

(1/3) > >>

IanB:
Can anyone help, before the wife turns the sledge hammer on me & the disco :cry:   , bought the disco about a year ago with a slight lean ( Big mistake )
Have changed the shocks all round and the springs but its still leaning?!
 Have measure the distance between the top of the tyre and the bottom of the wheel arch both front and rear right are lower than the left.
 Have also measured the spring from the top mounting to the bottom and theres a 1inch difference fom the right side to the left ???!!!!The spring mounting aren't bent or damaged.

  Can anybody please help
 
  For the sake and sanity :twisted:  of a depressed disco owner whos wife is on the edge :? !

chuggaman:
are the two rears on the left and two fronts on the right???

davidlandy:
are the springs on the right way round?

on a defender the os springs are a diffrent height to the ns to compensate for driver and fuel , not sure whether its the same for a disco.

gords:
What year/model is it? Does it have anti-roll bars? Is it standard or modified?

Yes it is but it's only the fronts that are different.  :wink:


Ian, this is quite a common problem with coil sprung Landys, not that it will make any difference to your wife I'm sure.
If the springs are okay then it could be the suspension bushes, I've heard that these can be the cause of a lean, but no experience of it myself.
