    Steering D1

    Hi everyone,
    Just wondering if anyone else has trouble with their disco wanting to follow the lay of the road if that makes sense.
    Mine has a 2" lift new OME shocks, new tough dog steering damper,wheel bearings, ball joints, OME castor correction bushes (castor is now about 3 degrees) has had wheel alignment and new Cooper ST 245 75 fitted on offset sunnies all suspension bushes right through have also been replaced but still seems to want to follow the road a bit. Any input would be great.
    Cheers Kenny

    Sounds like you've covered everything unless there's still an alignment issue.

    Have you checked your tyre pressures?

    Didn't think it would be that easy.

    Another thing to check is the tyres are balanced I suppose, just because they are new, doesn't mean they got it right.

    Other than that, I'm out of ideas.

    because the road is on an angle it will naturally go that way, its because of the hight of the car and the fact that it is lifted makes it more noticeable

    if i was you i wouldnt spend any more money on it just live with it.

    i have tried to fix this problem on alot of 4wd's and it is vertually impossible

    Check your swivel pre loads, if they are out it will cause wandering.

    OME

    Kenny, I have pretty much the same suspesion deal on my D1 and don't have the problems with it that you are having with yours. I've just recently posted how good the package has been.

    In WA a lot of tyre places DO NOT know how to set up alignment to a suspension that is not STOCK
    Take it to another shop for a wheel alignment ... just to find out

    If it's all new... what else could it be?

    Also a fresh set of eyes may be the go ..
