Tyre rubbing on standard disco

<< < (2/3) > >>

extreme90:
if it didnt catch before but does now then id say its a problem with tracking
have you bent your trackrod ?

beatmasterdave:
nearly brand new sumo track rod. (the front one :oops:  :( ) the one behind looks straight but might be a bit off after doing the front one a little while ago. i think i'll get a sumo to replace that one soon. havnt had a chance to check under there yet. great advice everyone!!! :D  :D cheers :D  :D  :D

Range Rover Blues:
Also a van might have been built with 205 tyres on.

beatmasterdave:
it had 205/30s on when i got it, now its 235/30 mud terrains. its only recently though. also, when turning, its easy, then hard, then easy again etc. the power steering fluid is full.

Budgie:
If it's feeling "knotchy" as you turn the wheel then try putting a good load of 3-in-1 oil on the two steering shaft U/Js in the engine bay (the one that goes into the steering box.

If you've only recently changed to wider tyres and the steering stops weren't altered then you need to go through what I said above as the 235's are wider than the 205's and will hit the radius arms.  :wink:
