A long shot.........
« on: June 19, 2011, 16:06:28 »
Folks,

The ball joints on the Disco2 have play in them. Parts seem cheap, special tools to do the job not so cheap.

Does anyone have previous experience on doing these things? If so, how?

Cheers

Which joints, those on the steering? If so I didn't know that there special tools when I did mine. A quick tap with LR tool #1 was sufficient to loosen everything off.

btw - did you ask same Q on DOC?

I did indeed place it on DOC.

I don't think the getting the joints out will be a major problem, it is pressing the blighters back in again.

Are we talking about the balljoints in the steering swivel? if so they are only meant to be done twice with the correct tool so I would be caustious about percusive maintenance
