Right, I'm going to stick my oar in now, it's a Cardan joint, not a double cardan joint, not unless you need one at each end, A cardan joint looks like a double UJ but has slightly more to it. It is a type of constant velocity joint.

What are the castor correction bushes like? i have just bought a 2 inch lift for my 90 from the same place well impressed. Have found that the ride is much less bouncy now that its all bedded in.

I have a 2" lift of my Disco 1. I have the hardest springs you can get on the rear and I have to say the truck handles better than before. Much more firm and steady. The original springs must have been well soggy to be able to lift the truck and end up firmer and have less roll when cornering!
Quite harsh under normal conditions but I like the feel of it anyway. My quandry is wether to fit larger tyres or not. I have a decent set of Michelin Synchrones so I am in no hurry. Apart from that little bit of extra clearance I can't think of any other benefits...

hey there jim...
the bushies go into the front radias arm to correct the castor of the steering after a lift has been added to the vehicle
as the car goes up, the axles come down, and because the axles are attached to the chassis by two radias arm which dont extend in length, they are pulled closer inwards towards the car which upsets the castor, make the car hard to self correct while turning.....
as you can see in the picture the bushes have the holes offset so it doesnt pull the axle inwards....
hope the pictures help aswell

Will I join the lifted disco club when I get my new suspension one day? I am only going to fit standard springs as I cant afford anything more but it will still raise the height of my disco by about an inch as they are super saggy at the mo and hits the bump stop quiet often :lol:
Looks good disco v8
