Thread: Bang:

do you have a rear step?

mine touched down once on a really big hump (i saw that one too late). basically as the rear suspension gets compressed by the cars weight after clearing the bump the step hits the bump.

Yea I have a rear step , but cant see any signs of recent scraping on the underside of the step.

I seem to get the noise every time the rear wheels break ground, even over a very small bump.



GO THE BLUES

The disco has always done this but since fitting poly-airs has been more noticeable. also when I drive out off the servo in a hurry and miss the lay-backs , the same noise.. Any ideas would be great.

Thanks in advance.

i GUESS I should express that i have a 99 disco2 ,had rear air bags. then fited coils then fited poly airs and billies.

check your A Frame joints.

Did you get the extended length billies?

I bet no, and your topping your shocks over the bump.

Hey Blknight

I am shure the disco 2 doesn't have the a frame joints .

I dont think so . but The coils and shocks were fitted by a LR specialist so I hope so. In My first post I did mention that the disco had allways done this with the factory air bags with the original shocks. so don't know why it is still doing it.

NO A FRAME JOINTS ON A D2!!!!
OK a couple of checks.Mine was doing this on speed humps when I first got it.The watts linkage hade been re-bushed,it had been put in upside down,one of the links was hitting the diff!!!!
Next,I get clunks and bangs since my polyairs went in.My spacers dont sit flat and refuse to do so,Ive levered them to where they are meant to be but they conform to the spring pitch,Im guessing there is a possible clung here.
Also after speaking with Ken,he inherited a clunk with a new suspension kit.Im wondering if the watts link bushes are worn to one position,when disturbed with new suspension,or polyairs in your case which equates some sort of lift,the clunk may be in there!!!!
