My Disco's on the slant - why????

<< < (2/3) > >>

discorich:
must be just what happens to disco's then as my disco does exactly the same, it used to be about 2 inch difference but then i found out that the rear drivers tyre had less air in and was making it sit low. but when the pressures were the same it was then only 1 inch different on the wheel arches.

nigel purnell:
My disco is 1/2 inch lower on drivers side with new springs 2"Lift  Scorpion Racing are aware of this and supply springs to meet this   It is common  I used to race cars and every car is different and we always had to adjust springs to obtain an even weight on each wheel  i made a 3/8 spacer which compensated for the 1/2 difference?

mobi:
mines on the slant about 1/2" i put it down to that it aways parked half on the pavement.

TicTac:
my disco also slants....... i thought it was down to the fact that i had used britpart suspension lift on it!!!! :D :D   now i dont feel quite so bad knowing that other people also have the same problem.......

Budgie:
The Disco isn't on it's own here, the Classic Rangie tended to have a leaning problem as well.  ;)

If you look at the standard LR springs for the Disco then you'll find that the fronts are "handed", the slightly heavier rated spring goes on the drivers side.
I got a set of +1" Scorpion springs years ago and they were also handed on the front.

As Stuntman said, check the body mounts, especially the rear cross member ones if it's suddenly started leaning.  ;)
