Has no-one spotted the obvious mistake? there is no hole in that spacer to accomodate the damper!

They look good.  Do you make the rear ones with holes in the middle too?  Is that for a special reason?

I make them all the same so that people dont get confused when installing them and also to save a bit of weight when posting.

My Disco leans to the off-side  :?

I thought it had set that way cos i'm a fat git  :oops:  :oops:  :oops:

If however it leans the other way then you've got a fat passenger  :P

Is it the rear where the problem exixts or the front?

One way to check, jack the car up by the towball 'till the rear tytres are clear of the floor (if one tyre comes off first that's a clue)

Stand on the centre-line of the car, about 1 1/2 length in front and look at the axle and bumper together, are they parallel or is the car leaning?  If it's leaning then the front end needs spacing rather than the back.

The front has a very slight lean but i think thats due to the greater lean on the rear. I measured the difference between n/s and o/s rear to be 40mm.
I've had an ally spacer cut and its gotta be finished and drilled before it goes on the car which i really hope is gonna be before the end of next week.
I'll put pics up to show you what the spacers like and before and after pics of the rear of the car aswell.

If you have the right number of fingers to use one as a knuckle duster then you have very strange hands :twisted:


Also just had a thought

battery
steering
peddle box
fuel filler
spare wheel

all on one side of the car might make a difference :?
