Thread: Disco 1 issue and going camping this weekend

Personally I wouldn't leave it, especially as it is a really easy fix.

x2 .... It's just a shockie bush ... easy fix

WT!!! melted shock rubbers

had the same problem ...just changed them out ...but I'm still curious to y.......never seen this happen to them before ...after many different 4wd's

cheers

About a $2 at Bursons, and 15mins to replace!
If you can't get out during the day I'll get you a couple today and you could swing by and grab them tonight and fix it then!

Thanks for the offer Fraser.

I'm just ringing a few local places to see if I can get it fit in. But if I can't I might have to take you up on your offer if you can spare the time.

How easy is it? Is it just a matter of taking that bolt off? I live in an apartment and don't have a lot of space to work on it so to speak.

thanks
Matt

Yup, just hold the shaft, undo the nut, lift shocker, remove old rubber, replace with new rubber, drop shocker, fit new bottom rubber, fit washer, tighten nut.
Easy!
If you are ringing places, make sure you tell them lower shocker bush, not suspension bush!
honestly in a workshop on a hoist, 10 mins tops!

Give me a ring on 0417-102-120 after 9:30 if you like!

Thanks very much fraser, actually just found somewhere near work in hawthorn that can fit it in! Phew.

At least that means camping is still on! You away for the long weekend?

Good stuff!
Yes I'm going down the 'Prom, started doing all the wheel bearings this week, then found buggered rear discs and pads - Pad's should arrive today (I hope) as we want to leave tomorrow morning! but new bearings are fitted as are two new rear discs. (the price on the discs surprised me, only $68 each!!

Have a good weekend away!
