Changing springs
Tony F:
One thing to watch for is some people supply two identical springs for the rear (i.e. same part number - ANR3477) whilst this is aparently correct for the Range Rover Classic, Discoverys, like most other Land Rovers, should have handed springs.
I learnt this when replacing my rear springs to correct a 5cm lean to the right. The springs that came off were identical (same paint marking) as the new ANR3477's and once fitted the rear of the car came up 1cm each side but the left hand side was still 5cm higher than the right #-o
A recent trip to Scorpion Racing to discuss a suspension lift, produced the answer. I was shown the original LR specs for springs which clearly shows they should be different each side.
As I am sure you are wondering, my "original" springs came from that well known mail order firm in Matlock.

I didnt know that :? My Disco does have a slight lean to the right and the springs on mine are HD RRC ones :-k
Right then HD Disco springs next time then :D

this might sound silly but what about dislocation cones??
Are they only for extreme offroading with super uprated spings??

They can be useful with all springs if you like to do extreme axle twisting stunts :wink:
I have never popped a spring and I have a go at everything with my standard set up :D

they are a good idea if you are doing the job anyway and have the spare cash. One of my mates had to put his springs back in 3 times at langdale quest....pain in the backside.What condition are your shocks in?
