disco 1 rumble/wobble

(1/5) > >>

generation-x:
was out in the disco today and noticed a definate wobble/rumble at about 40mph goes at about 50 but returns at 65+ feels like the rear
end more than the front
prob uj maybe?
diff fubard?

simon :-k

wrecker:
i had a rear wheel bearing do the same sort of thing you say,only found out after i replaced both ujs,

jack the rear wheels and spin away,should spin with no noise,and have very lil free play top/bottom and side to side

generation-x:
wheel bearing you think then m8y?

wot sort of money are they?
best to change both i spose too?
easy job? (as used to suzuki's)

wrecker:
for me id check 1st,some might say other wise,funny things landys :lol:

as for how much i couldent tell you the right the price,i pay cost cos i work at a motor facters,not normally to much to worry about, around £20ish for a half decent make,but do jump a fair bit for oe ones,

they are easy,,note should be,,if there not to far gone its 15mins a side tops,but if its rusty,or got hot and melted then hours 8-[

i hope this helps you mate

generation-x:
Right guys finaly this morning got to lift up the back of the disco
no play in either rear wheels



but i did notice wot im thinking is to much slap in the rear diff pinion?
now its always had a clonk when changing gear just thought thats wot they did so thought nothing of it b4

but when both wheels are off the ground and you rotate the rear prop it moves about 1/2 inch(maybe less) before it clunks and the wheels start to move (then stop)

as said in a prevoius thread im more a suzuki man but im using the disco more and more for offroading and towing my buggy about
so it is gettin more use than before and im wondering if the rear diff is goosed

any help greatfully received
