Hi all I have seen this issue on a number of discovery 1's before. Mine seems to sit leaning towards the drivers side. Has anyone had this issue and did you fix it. Nothing seems out of place. No broken springs or anything else that might cause it. A couple of the body mount rubbers have seen better days. Could it be a matter of replacing the body mount bushes. Any ideas?

Springs just loose the amount of weight the can carry an sag. My old RR stated to sag on the drivers side and appeared more noticeable at the back, those rear springs were ‘progressive’ so soft to start with, but I replaced the rear springs and the vehicle was still the same, so I then replace the fronts and surprise, surprise the RR was level again. New dampers also were fitted at the same time as the springs.
The mileage then was around 85,000.

Thanks guys. It's looking like a spring issue. It's been fitted with a +2" kit about 7 years ago and and possibly not had the right load rating springs fitted as its quite loaded up with Winch and bash guards ect. Looking like the springs are shot on the off side. So I will be fitting heavy load terrafirma springs. Hopefully that will straighten it up. Also change the body mount rubbers they all look original and starting to crack up.
Check the integrity of the mounts themselves too mate as they rot out for fun! Any pictures of motor? Hope you enjoying it
