errol209 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 cheers for the ideas, what about the drag link? any photos thanks again Ally The drag link is a possibility, but only if (and remembering I'm a 90 owner and know little of these new-fangled "Discovery" things of which you speak) the damper is on the drag link itself. Photos of all that lot? Goggle, my son, Goggle! You could also take a canter through the technical archive and the relevant parts pages at LRParts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pw8757 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I would agree the propshaft UJ's should be rounded up in the first sweep of suspects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I do have the same problem, checked all can not find anything wrong except the fact I did fit back the front propshaft the other way round (about a Month ago). So with sleeved section towards the gearbox in stead of the towards the front axle.... Guess that might be the source of my problems? Will take it of and inspect UJ's + fit back, it might fix my steering wobble... Cheers Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ally Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 its a d2 td5 so they are different? any replies on the wheels issue d2/d3? Ally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stageonesimmo Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Not been under a D2, but dont discount the rear 'A' frame ball-joint when looking for wobbles at the front that have exhausted all other possibilities - I had a deafener once that had a whole load of kit flung at the front and it didnt cure it then on its next inspection the rear 'A' frame ball-joint was picked up as having a load of lift in it - it was renewed and the front end wobbles went with it............
