    Disco 4 weights in rear?

    I happened to be under my Disco 4 recently and noticed two large weights.

    They are at the rear just inside the bumper on either side and appear to swing freely.

    What are they for?

    Cheers.

    Often affectionately referred to as it's "balls"

    That's it. You remove them to turn the car into a Freelander.

    The words of the old WW2 song come to mind:
    "Hitler has only got one ball"
    So possibly you get a BMW X5:-D

    Harmonic balancers, remove and theoretically more vibration!

    Read this a little time ago on another forum. More like a design fault/fix.

    That sounds uncomfortable. May I suggest a pair of snug fitting underpants instead?

    Possibly some kind of strap or rope may be more appropriate ...
