HELP..spring dropped out !
Richie_EB4:
IMHO.........if you have fitted longer shocks and lifted springs then you might as well make use of the extra travel.......fit the dislocation cones and then you wont have this problem again.
I use the reverse dislocation cone set up..........seams to work very well.

Thats cos Discos are only designed to be Mall Cruisers.....(ask Bulli)
OK guys, start the abuse.

rangie springs Loooooooooooooong shocks,jubilee clips,gives this
got a wee bity more but banking wasnt high enough
J B:
--- Quote from: "RedlineMike" ---
--- Quote from: "jon boy" ---the problem with fitting jubilee clips is when your nearing full articulation the amount of pull on the spring retainers at the bottom, you risk breaking them, resulting in the spring becoming dislocated at the axle, this is a lot harder to re-locate than if it was at the top
you also loose any grip on that wheel, because the spring is trying to keep the wheel up,
so fit cones 8)

<shakes head>
here we go again with the same debate,
how is it harder to relocate a spring at the bottom than the top?
the spring if clamped at the top will ALLWAYS go back to the same spot on the axle where as if it dislocates at the top there is variables in where the spring will come back to,angle o the dangle n that bauble,
funnly enough ive noticed that disco bottom spring retainers are made outa an irn bru tin where as the defender ones are made outa more substantial material,

theres no debate, road springs are designed to be compressed, not stretched, and there's not a single company that supplies modded parts for landy's that would say " yeah, fit some jubilee clips mate"
its a boge, dont do it :twisted:

not wishing to seem offensive but on what grounds do you belive that its a bodge & why shouldnt people fit jubilee clips to retain springs
especially after it was highlighted by some1 else that some ARC clubs wont allow you to compete for points with cones fitted?
