Disco 1 steering shudder??

<< < (4/5) > >>

Rossko:
If everything else were in good order, you should be able to remove the steering damper completely and not notice any difference.  Duff damper will mean it just isn't as good at hiding problems elsewhere, so renewing a worn damper can appear to cheer things up for a while ... but the root cause is elsewhere.

Start by checking the preloads as already advised.

Range Rover Blues:
Also worth checking the steering box is ok, the kickback was so bad on mine that it needed adjusting.

Range Rover Ron:
Still hunting,
I've replced the steering damper with a super duper Terrafirma one,
still there!
Today I change the wheels diagonally from the front to back.
Checked the props shafts, all O.K.
Still happening.
Still hunting for the problem,
thanks all for suggestions.
May be the next place to look is the bushes, it is an old Disco and the bushes probably have never been changed.
Poly bushes next I think.
I've had a good look  for play all around the steering bushes, pan hard rod etc. and found everything lokking and feeling O.K.
As I say, still looking.
Cheers,

i would be looking at the front shocks first  ;)

denviks had the same and even though he had bushes gone it still did it after we changed them,
we then checked the shocks and found one of them to be.... well not very good :lol:, we changed that and prob was sorted :)

Range Rover Blues:
My LSE suffered with steering kickback and I found when I stripped it that it had had new rubber bushes fitted.  I put poly bushes in and it got worse!
