    stiffen up the rear sway bar, stiffen the shocks, stiffen the springs.

    any or all of the above.

    Check to see if it has Sway Bars.
    If not then this will help a lot.
    I don't recommend this if you want to do a fair amount of off road work. It will seriously hinder the vehicles ability to maintain traction on uneven terrain.
    I'm not a Disco expert, but I do believe it should have them. Most people do remove them. So take a look. If they have been removed then it wont be much problem to source some from this forum. I wouldn't be surprised if got them for free.

    After market stiffer springs and decent shocks will also make a big differnence. When I installed 2 inch longer stiffer King's springs and Koni shocks it dramatically changed the on & off road performance. 12 years later the springs and shocks are still like new. All depends on what you want the vehicle to do, now and in the future and how long you intend to keep it.

    Thanks guys,

    I bought this for my wife as I have a 1983 Nissan Patrol that I use for all my offroad stuff, Including the Variety Bash.

    It will mainly be for onroad stuff and a back up for towing my boat.

    I will check underneath and see what is there.

    Hi mate,

    I have a 92 D1 Tdi. I found a great deal of improvement after replacing the bushes. I do a lot of road k's and it is like a different car.

    Good luck..

    Jay
