:(


well been off roading today again, soon as i got back onto tarmac i realised something was very wrong. the Disco is suddenly vearing to the right sharply like theres a heavy weight inside thats shifting from side to side, it seems to start at the front and a mate driving in front said he could see it pulling to the right from the front end causing the whole car to have a rolling effect like a wave passing through it, its much worse at low speed and also when changing gear. at higher speeds at about 45-50 in a straight line its hardly noticable but still there a bit.

with Difflock on its reduced by about 50% but still there, without difflock its deadly.

did take a good pounding today on an extreme course..



nothing obvious is loose or hanging off that i can see, props seem firm etc, no play in the wheels or streering wheel and dont seem to be toeing in or out etc.

thoughts please..

cheers

Disco_Stu:
Bent steering component, maybe rear arm if you havent already seen it.

ChrisW:
Have you checked your bushes / nuts and bolts on the radius and trailing arms?

skip:
Sounds pretty serious to me.

Are all the radius arms still straight etc, worst case could be a bent chassis although pretty unlikley.

hope it don't cost too much.

Jack up each wheel and give it a good waggle around?
