tattoed Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doda456 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 sounds to me like a bush or 2 could be gone/ going, check all the bushes and see what you find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxtherotti Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 check the rear ball joint too with that amount of lift will be at a bad angle Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlechorus Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I would look at bushes as said principally the two front ones from the caster arm to the chassis and also look and see if you have a sticky caliper which could induce a brake bias there. I doubt the issue lies with preload or the suspension in general as this is the same both sides. The anti roll bar will no be missed in a straight line and at 5 inch lift a standard one would seriously limit your downtravel. The difference in pipes wont make any difference if they are both working though with a 5 inch lift I would check they are both upto spec in length and if possible move to braded on the other but as a pressured system both should be carrying the same pressure.

Disco-Ron Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 sounds like rear radius arm bush to me........ check those too!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teabag Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Sounds like rear radius arm bush to me too, so giving a bit of rear wheel steering. look the big bush at the end if there is a space between the metal and the rubber it's only a few mm then its due for replacing.

Range Rover Blues Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 LHS rear trailing link (AKA radius arm) usually the axle end will do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
