Vibration.rumbling

muddymart:
I picked the car up today from the garage , its had new gas suspension and heavy duty springs all round, and polybush kit fitted,

I'm getting a strange vibration/rumbling that was not there before it went in,

could the prop uj's have worn out/dried up if the car has had poor suspension for a couple of years? I'm only saying this as its quite high compared to when it went in , the drive , cornering and stability is unbelievable,

Thanks in advance

Martin  :D :D

sound like the prop uj put new one on should be fine. mate of mine had a rumble and this week chewed front prop up
naste mess underneath and lots of smoke from tyres lucky he was only going slow

Yes if it's run for ages on tired spring then the UJs will have run in in this condition, now you've lifted it (even if backto standard) then the UJs will be out of their "comfort zone" and it's very common for them to expire.

Is it lifted above standard, if so by how much?

standard should be 790 mm from floor to eyebrow with 235.70s on.

HI RRB again !! ;)

I just went for standard height gas shocks and hd springs all round, but just looking at the car now, the springs and shocks must have been well tired, and they were on the car when i bought it, so your guess is as good as mine, no receipts in the folder for replacements over the last couple of years.

Range Rover Blues:
You'll find that it settles a bit over the year as your new spring settle in then.  Don't worry, they should do that.  You'll find it rolls lees at the moment too ;)

When it's warmer, try measuring the eybrow height, another indication is the front panhard rod, it should be roughly level across the axle on a standard car.
