hi and ur very welcome

I own a D3 and went through replacing bushes , arms etc , done all the work myself as it was going to cost silly money otherwise , know the feeling when I drove it with worn bushes and how it twitched etc, after I replaced them all feels like a different vehicle

indeed sounds like worn bushes and alignment needs sorting out

start with lowering ur suspension to its lowest setting then grab the top of the tyres and rock them, see if u can feel any movement

Always best to use hunter 4 x wheel alignment system

in the mean time have u got a print out from past alignments and what make, size of tyres have u currently got fitted please

also plse keep us updated of what u find and there plenty of us here to always help where we can
Many thanks again for this . I think i will change the bushes and get the 4 wheel alignment again and get the new tyres after . Thank you

hi

If I may say , need to establish if and what bushes have gone first , there’s quite a few of them and not a 5 x minute job , then get the alignment done by a hunter 4 x wheel alignment system

on the rear I think there’s around 20 x bushes so indeed need to ensure each and everyone is 100% before moving onto alignment and new tyres

Know I must sound like a record , lol, what make and size tyres have u got fitted please on each wheel

thks

+1 on our @gstuart, I'm doing a disco 3 for a client and he has 2 lower front arms flapping, inner track rod ends and a rear upper arm that rocks inwards at the rear bush which throws the traction control Into action at low speed around left hand bend because of all the movement.
He recently swapped his tyres front to rear and you can see the damage it's doing.

hi

Hope u don’t mind me saying , also check the steering wheel angle sensor

can cause the DSC to kick in when turning if it needs re calibrating

Thanks @gstuart, I'll do that on the final check up with the heights.
The autel diagnostic set will talk to pretty much most Ecu's on this model.
:cool:
 
They are all 275.40. 20
I think standard wheel

thks, when u come to get new tyres ur be far better off getting Ones with bigger sidewalls , will ride better , rims won’t suffer as much because of potholes etc

alas , know u didn’t fit them but never understood why 4x4 are fitted with low profile tyres, there not sports cars and if used off road the sidewall is so narrow causing Easier rim damage

plus having bigger sidewalls provides better ride comfort

They don't even need to go off-road. First time you hit a pot-hole, go over a raised kerb, into a drive that isn't perfectly aligned with road, etc, etc, etc, chunk out of tyre/damage to rim.
It was one of the stupidest ideas ever to call it a Range Rover Sport. It made all the people now too old , or too many kids, to run around in noisy exhaust, corsas, fiestas and similar, think there was such a thing as a sports car 4x4. Poor little things have been getting faffed about with ever since, by people thinking chrome, neon and low profile is a good idea for a 4x4












Btw. Did I ever say I bloody hate people who try to make Range Rovers, even the Sport, look like a 19yr old's corsa ;)

Hiya , hope ur keeping well

indeed, also another thing I see where tyres fitted haven’t got the correct sidewall rating ,or they don’t take into consideration how it effects the ride quality

Also ref some of the highly reflective body wraps that are done , wonder how much reflection the driver gets back from the bonnet on a sunny day
 
Yea but its shouldn't be that bad, that's crap steel

To be honest I didn’t really give it much thought , seeing I was going to fit new genuine arms and the rest of it was sound

thks for the heads up as seeing this is my first disco didn’t know if that was normal or not, now know it’s not and good there now removed

as always appreciate the feedback
 
You did a good job, and spraying it was a good idea, will protect it a lot more

Many thks , Also removed the wheel arch liners and was surprised how many leaves, mud etc was hidden away, took longer cleaning it than spraying

done the same when I fitted a new air tank by spraying 3 x coats of Dinitrol
