Thread: STEERING TROUBLES

It appears they are not handed - all Series LAndrovers have different right and left spring camber so they sit level, and you may find this is a problem.

It apears not anymore John..when we ordered ours we were told the same on both sides

Well i put the springs on today they made a little differance but not heaps.
I ended up puting a plate under the diff was hoping i had a 4mm but only had a 5mm.. that fixed it . . .
The brackets on the new springs Are just rubing on the rod between the wheels so i will have to take out the bolt & bend them with a hammer as i don't got a oxy . . . .







Is it posable for the swivel bush's to have moved or broke & something jamed or stuck or something to stop it from moving back to where it should be if there was movement & it has moved..

How hard is it to change the swivel bush's top & bottom . . .

The plate i put in still lets the center bolt top poke through just so it will hold the diff cause i was worried it the diff would move . . .

I cant have driven it for a year with no trouble for nothing to have happend & then all of a sudden this something must have moved or broke & i can't see anything broken . .

I realy am at my wits end now . . .

we got a price on the top & bottom bush's for the swivels tops where $70 each & bottoms where $25 .

I realy realy don't know anymore . .

But we have got all the details ready to put it up for sale now so i mite have to just let it go . . .

Are you sure that you have the springs centred on the axle assembly?



It sure doesn't look like it to me!

See the difference between the position of the bottom leaf in relation to the plate at the front and rear of the axle tube in the image.

In fact the more I look at it the more I realize it's been bodgied up. That strap around the axle assembly is not original and neither is the plate where the spring centre pin is supposed to locate.

Yeah the center bolt went into the hole in the diff.. . .Those plates are longer at the back for the shockie mount..

" neither is the plate where the spring centre pin is supposed to locate"

I'd say Diana is near the mark. The spring saddle is about half an inch not thick enough or long enough too...

Have a look at the spring saddle/ mount a bit of difference there.
Went out and looked at mine and it is a lot thicker

Isn't yours a stage 1 do they have a differant diff . . . .
