MarkParm Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I just fitted OME shocks and coils to my 110. The old springs and shocks were in a sad state and I had a heavy lean to the passenger side. After fitting the new kit I find that I still have a lean to the passenger side. So then I swapped the drivers side OME 767 (slightly taller) over to the passenger side and still have the lean. The welds on the mounts look fine and the axle doesn't look bent. Anyone out there fix a similar problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicTheOrange90 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Can we assume you did not have the leane before you fitted new springs? Are dampers working/fitted OK? Have you tried contacting place where you purchased the springs etc? or OME directly themselves ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicTheOrange90 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Dohh. So the old springs were fine, and there is something wrong with the structure then ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkParm Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 I've only been looking at it with a low tank and no one inside. I'll try a fill up. It did have a lean before the new installation. When I pulled the old springs the p/s side was significantly shorter than d/s. The new shocks and dampers are fine. So my lean is mostly corrected, but still off by about a cm or so (and that is with the o/s ome installed on the p/s). On closer inspection the p/s lower mount seems slightly lower than the o/s. Perhaps at some point in its life someone replaced them and didn't get the height quite right? Does anyone know if 1 cm front spacers are available somewhere? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicTheOrange90 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Id visit a local engineering shop, they should be able to make a set for you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwhacker Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 My rule of thumb says its a Land Rover, and 1cm is neither here nor there when you are driving down the road in it. Or through a field. Drive it dont stand and look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkParm Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 Yup - I guess thats the next step isn't it? Saves on the overseas shipping too! thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
