rear axle movement

(1/2) > >>

clodhopper:
hello all, i have a little problem which i will try my best to describe. on rough or uneven ground my disco feels as if it is snaking slightly. this may be just the way they are but to me it feels as if there is slight movement in my rear axle. i had a look in my haynes book of knowledge and think it may be the lower link bushes. would they cause the problem? any info would be helpfull.

beast5680:
i would certainly check them its not unknown for the bushes to fail or the nu holding one end to come loose

GREENI:
Hi Gareth, it will more than likely be your rear trailing arm-to-chassis bushes....
Really straight forward job, pick up the phone to me anytime if you need advice, or if you get the parts, will be willing to stick 'em on for you ..

Ditto ,  mine started drifting at the back last year & it was the rear trialing arm bushes, when jacked up the axle could move about one inch side to side  :shock:

hello steve, thanks for the offer. would it be a good idea to jack up the rear on the chassis and see  where the movement is.
