Help please

Have you checked your front prop Rob, the uj's are gonna be running at all sorts of new angles, and if they are tired that could cause your vibration...It could be as simple as changing your UJ's mate. Dropping the front prop and trying it in diff lock for a short test drive should prove this.

I wouldn't drive it mate Even with the front prop off. I can help Saturday on my way to Ipswich or after so not should on a time yet ( I let you know later on ) I'll bring Lisa with me for coffee duties lol

[gregster]

Thats not good if the springs arent seating....think Andy might be right there in suggesting that perhaps driving it aint the best option....

[andytats]

Yea I'll bring them with me. Can you pm me your address

Having looked under a few Disco's if you lift them then the axle is going to rotate as the arms are fixed rigidly to the axle so whatever springs you use to lift it the end result is the same with the axle not twisting but rotating so the spring platforms (on the front axle) will twist forward. Over a certain lift aren't you supposed to use caster correction arms to rotate the axle back to correct angle

Agreed the BP springs shouldn't have this issue with a gap between the spring and spring seat, have you thought about contacting BP direct, they do have a technical department in Caerphilly and I know one of the guys that works there if that helps

We should be there about 10ish

we just put a lift on my mates disco and he had spring retainers for front and back, not sure this would help your situation as i didn't notice his axle twisted. he used terra firma kit

[andytats]

What I don't get is I had terrefima +2 on my disco and that didn't tilt the axle that much plus the spring sat on the mount with no problems.
Before you start taking anything off that some photos of the spring mounts and check the angle of the front prop

Sorry bud I can't make it this weekend. I hope you get it sorted! What's the rear axle like? I guess the arms are longer so it hasn't twisted as much?

[andytats]

Only too happy to help you out buddy glad we got it sorted and finding out it wasn't anything we done was a bonus, dodgy springs being more like a 3inch lift rather than the 2inch they should of been

[bobbinsjob]

Sorry I only just seen this rob or i would have come over. Next time just text or ring me as I don't get on here every day. Glad you got it sorted tho mate. They ain't as bad as people say they are that Andy and Lisa pmsl

[andytats]
