Disco 1 steering shudder??
Range Rover Ron:
Hello MC'ers,
I'm scratching my head over a problem with a mate's disco 1.
At about 60 mph or over he can run along without any problems but if he hits a bump or pothole on the road he then gets a violent shudder.
He has to slow right down to about 30 mph before it goes away.
I put a new steering damper on it at Driffeild and it was great for a couple of months but has now retruned.
The Wheels are all balanced o.k.
The swivels have had new bearings top and bottom and the gaps shimmed.
The wheels have been aligned.
The tyre treads are all more than legal and evenly worn.
The wheel bearings are all good.
Track rod top & bottom on both sides are all nice and tight,
no lateral or vertical movement of wheesl on either side of Disco.
He says it appears worse from the near side wheel at times.
Hmmm
Any sugestions, I'm now looking at replacing the whole shock & spring set up.

i know this might be an off shot but have you checked the Uj's on both props, if not, check the bushes on the trailing arms
