  1. Thanks for the replys, iv found a couple of bushes that need replacing, so it looks like im going to replace the lot, might as well while im under it lol. bring on the snow.
  2. Hi i recentley bought an 1997 disco, however when slowing down from speed it seems to veer a bit to the right, also when breaking it pulls a bit to the right. Im not sure where to start with this as the disco is pretty modded. Its got pro comp lift, correction arms on front and rear, disslocation cones, recip tyres (horrible things).What i have noticed on inspection is. 1 Rear anti roll bar removed 2 A braded hose on left front caliper, and a rubber on right caliper ?? I was thinking pre load on swivle bearings as i have done them before, but could it be the 2 points i have noticed as well. would putting an antiroll bar back on be advisable with a 5 inch lift? Thanks in advance for any input, i have got a few probs with this truck but this is my main concern.
  3. ok thanks, they are pro comp springs and dampers
  4. Hi i have been offered four springs and dampers 2" lift off a defender 90, what im wondering is if they will fit on my disco. Or will i have to mess about with any welding. thanks
  5. I have used lrdirect but i dont like the payment system, the garage k motors isnt far from me but i have found they dont allways have the items needed in stock. so i have been using buckley brothers in darwin, only thing with them is the website ordering service seems to charge you more for the parts than if you go in???
  6. buckley brothers in darwin, they have normally got everything in stock
  7. Cant comment on the others but i had a set of yellow britpart and alot of them didnt seem to fit right so i stuck with original landy ones.
  8. i did mine 2 week ago, used britpart housing, timken bearings. i was going to use the britpart bearings which came with the kit but was warned off. see my post.
  9. my diesel disco does this as well when im drivin like me dad. Allways wondered what it was ,i just drop the gear and give it a bit more juice.
  10. Yes i got one sat on me table, bought wrong one i needed abs, mail order never again. frc7065 swivel bearing top and bottom frc5105 swivel bottom bush at top
  11. My 14 year old disco no longer does its top speed like when it was new, and i have 23 year old defender same story. so the plod can suck eggs. Just drive carefully and stick to the legal speed limit, done
  12. Thanks for that but iv given up and im hoping this second hand stub will be sound. One can only cross fingers.
  13. Thanks alot, im going to get on it this aft.
  14. Hi 2 all, i am about to replace the bushes and links in the rear anti roll bar , it states in manual to rest axle on stands. I have 2 big ramps can i put the disco on them as if the wheels where on the ground and just unbolt the whole thing? Was just wondering what probs i would come across if i do that way. thanks
  15. Hi to all ,after stripping n/s because of binding noise found that there was no grease in housing , and stub axle bearing was ground too dust. I cant seem to free the various parts like the brass washer. any ideas???? thanks
  16. FTC2065 for thrust bearing on abs.
  17. nice truck, some good ideas for mine. i like your yellow axles.
  18. Thanks for that timken it is, im just a bit bothered about all by other britpart stuff iv just bought, like the swivel housing and pins and seals. It just goes to show that you should do your home work 1st. thanks agin.
  19. Hi to all, just a quicky. Does any one know if brit part bearings are better than timken, iv got both just wondering which is best to put in. I got new pin which is britpart so i was leaning towards the same make. petty i know... thanks
  20. Hi thanks for that its a good thread, i have sorted the parts out finally, had to go 30 mile for em though. a happier disco owner
  21. Hi to all, i have just stripped off the front swivel housing off my 95 disco with abs , but cant rebuild due to missing part which i cant seem to find. Its the bush and housing a flat bearing and the 2 thrust washers. Its there in the rave manual cd1 service repair number 60-15-43 part 39 and 41. I couldnt get the old ones out of the housing, and my knuckles and finger tips are wearing thin after the strugle of the 7 studs holding the whole thing to the axle. I would be very very very gratefull for any help on a part number as i have rang a few places and they dont seem to know what i want, and have even been sent wrong parts. thanks again
