    Death Wobble

    Nope, tires are slightly oversized but not large at all. I'll get a front end alignment and wheel balance after changing the panhard bushings though just to be sure. Thanks!

    Death Wobble

    No I haven't. I'll give that a try next. I'm going to try to get teh Disco into the shop tomorrow to have the rotors turned.

    Death Wobble

    Thanks Joey. That was my first conclusion also, but the shaking is extremely violent at 55 to 65 mph and does not let up if I let off the brake pedal or speed up. At low mph the brakes surge. Could it be the front drive shaft? Should I try removing the driveshaft and see what happens?

    Death Wobble

    I followed this procedure for the swivel pins: http://www.***.hiof.no/~frodehaa/swivelpinpreload.htm It seems to have fixed the death wobble when I hit bumps at speed (55 to 65 mph). But I am still getting the death wobble when braking at speed (55 to 65 mph). I am driving a 97 Disco with...

    Shocks

    I changed all four shocks and the front steering stabilizer in about three hours yesterday. Instead of compressing the coil springs on the front, I just removed the shock tower and took the shocks out from above. The driver side front took less than 1/2 an hour. The driver side rear took the...

    Shocks

    Thanks Mike! Yes, I planned on doing it myself. I just didn't want to put all day Saturday into it. Usually if something is supposed to take 3 hours it will take me at least double. I bought OEM replacements. My Disco is more of a commuter and grocery gitter than an off-road vehicle. It's...

    Shocks

    Thanks Joey. I guess I was hoping for something that would motivate me to do it myself. Maybe I'll take it to a shop. The front shocks are shot, they move about 3/4" above the top of the shock tower. kinda scary, and dangerous too.

    97 Disco SE7 Runnning Hot

    My Disco has been running warm after about 1/2 hour of city driving. If I turn the heat up to high and rev the engine to over 1500 RPM the temp will come down to normal range. The a/c condenser fans are working. Is this a thermostat problem, water pump, or fan clutch? Any thoughts?

    Replacing Ac condenser fans

    I replaced my non-working fans with off-the-shelf fans from Trak-Auto. They fit well, almost like a dorect replacement. My Disco would overheat if idling with a/c on in warm weather. The condensor fans cool the condensor, if the fans do not work then the heat from the condensor is absorbed by...
