The leaning Discovery of tipton

<< < (2/9) > >>

Range Rover Blues:
Apparently some Disco chassis were twisted at manufacture, hence the springs of different lengths business started up.  Also the bushes in the front radius arms resist body roll, they were stiffened with the introduction of EFi to help handling, well over time these creep, a cheap solution is to swap the radius arms left to right and see if it makes a difference.  Easier said than done though, right?

ne jones:
If its the body mounting rubber is it part # ANR1504 i need?

How many are there to replace and is it a DIY job or are specialist tools needed? :)

Range Rover Blues:
4 in the engine bay, 2 on the rear crossmamber and one at each end of each sill makes 10 in total.  You may have to loosen the seatbelt anchorage tie-down at 4 points under the body to allow the body to lift from the chassis, you may not.

ne jones:
Problem  :x

I'm getting conflicting advice from varying sources and i really want to get to the bottom of this problem.

I went to my local lr parts man today to buy a bush for the rear trailing arm that im gonna use to replace the one i bent up the other day.
He said he cant see the problem being the body mount rubbers as these are only thin anyway, well thinner than the difference in height from 1 side to the other that my disco has.

I've just phoned up MM 4x4 who supplied me with the springs and they asked if the shock absorber was in good condition? Would a weak shocker cause the car to lean? I know that the shocker on the nearside rear was new not so long ago.

I've tried to use my 235/85x16's today and found the clearance on the nearside great but going over speed humps the offside one is catching on the top of the wheelarch. :x

WHAT CAN I DO??????????????????????????

Nope....

The damper is there for damping, nothing else.  It is only the spring that affects vehicle height.
