Thread: Lumpy steering

Hi John, what parts did you actually swap?
A member on this forum recently bought an adjustable panhard rod for his lifted D2A, he bought one for a Discovery 2 some where and he found it was too short for adjustment. After talking to me about his problem, and some investigation it revealed that the pan hard rod for the D2A is a different part number to the one used on the D2. He returned the said panhard rod and swapped it for another adjustable one that suited the D2A and problem was fixed.
I think the D2a adjustable one was about 70mm longer
Regards, Mario

Remove the damper and see if problem persists.

Has front ride height increased or decreased? Change in height will move axle left or right along the arc of the panhard rod.

And yes, panhard rods of D2 and D2a are different lengths.

I just changed the springs, shocks and steering damper. Am I supposed to do more than that.

Maybe the donor springs were lifted height springs ie +2 inch and yours were standard height, hence the increase in height.
