disco still drives all over the place

mud muppet · Jun 7, 2013

Bought a 200 disco a while back.its got a lft on it 3" I think.

Handling has always been bad.
Someone said get some plus 3 radious arms and maybe bushes had gone on pan rod arm.
So replaced with the said bits and still drives the same.do you think an adjustable pan rod might be the way?

I am having the whole "crabbing" issue at the moment as well. Would be good to know how it is solved.

Have the wheels been spaced out at all? I heard for every inch you go up in height you need to go out an inch in width.

Being that high screws with its centre of gravity.

Wheels have massive offset.Got 35/13,50 mudz on.But it did it with 265s on from before.....so......duno

I got 2" lift 2" body lift..37" mudzillas and mine drives fine..standard props,standard arms etc..

you must have some other worn out parts somewhere

could be as simple as warn out steering box

Check wheel bearings and all bushes.

Think will start with pan rod arm.Either cut it and drive it up an down see if gap is wider.Then could either put tube over both ends and weld up.

Bearings are all good and bushes

that's pointless it will make no difference

So would you say put an adjustable pan rod arm on?

fanatic · Jun 7, 2013

Bushes
Steering damper
Swivel hub preload are main **** handling issues-and I dont like lift kits much

Would be usefull to get more info on the handling issues...
Crabbing (mentioned above)
vague steering
wanders around
too light steering
too much roll

have a chat to very nice man at the garage Tuesday,see if he will have a look.been out in it today think rear wheel bearing is busted.rattle noise when going along and the hub is getting hot to touch.

chriswall0 · Jun 8, 2013

Might be a bit obvious but what about ball joints? I've just changed mine on my fender sorted my problems right out

mud muppet · Jun 8, 2013

think the rear hub is shot.just went out to move it and pudle of black stuff on floor and coming from inside of rear axel by tyre:frusty:think I`d be rich if I hadn`t got a landy....
