disco 1 steering?
« on: December 14, 2011, 10:07:30 PM »
looking for help? when im out in ma disco it steers as if it has a soft wheel at the back, its all standard with no lift kit but feels quite unstable. could it be the steering box?  just trying to narrow it down before i crawl under it.

cheers.

Can you describe a bit more about what is happening? Does it wander all over the road?

Suspension bushes are a common one and if not already replaced will need doing anyway if original. Steering boxes can be preblematic, track rod ends etc.

yes more of a description would help
if it is the back it could be the a frame either bushes or slack if it has been off
different bushes give a different fealing when goosed

Hi have you checked rear body mounts as i had this problem and it felt like the back was all over the place
when cornering . both rear mounts had to be repaired. just something to check.
