wiggly bottom
muddyjames:
My disco seems to have a wiggly bottom and seems to be getting worse. It is as if the back end is swaying left to right and faster I go the worse it gets. any ideas? It started before I polished it so I know that isnt the problem!
I know that the anti roll bar bushes where the anti roll bar meets the axle are perished as I can easily pull the bar back n forth from side to side of disco really easily.
I am wondering if I can actually do the couple of hundred mile journey this weekend with it or not. :-k
J.D.:
Its known as rear wheel steer. Suspect the trailing arm and A- frame bushes are badly worn. I would replace all the bushes and the a frame ball joint to be on the safe side.
muddyjames:
i am guessing that it is very dangerous to drive with then?
Disco-Ron:
If it happenes mostly when you apply or lift off the throttle then it's most likely the trailing arm bushes...... if it;'s the front end of them they're quite simple to change............... i wouldn't be doing too many miles on duff bushes..... get em changed!!
muddyjames:
I think it is mainly when I am off the power. I hope it will be ok for the 10 miles into work and back each day for a week or 2 until I get one of the other cars back on the road. :'( I will get the train for this weekend I think!
