hey guys whats up... i am a new disco 1 owner 96 138k. just like most disco's previous owner neglected the hell out of it. i have learned alot from this forum and applied most of it to my disco. but i started having some issues with the suspension. it squeaks like hell. very embarrassing and i cant figure out what to do with it. i have sprayed a little grease on the springs but doesnt seem to help. has any1 here had that issue? if so what was your "fix" or part that got changed out. any input is a good one.

thanks

 

Sounds like the bushings.

 

Bad shock or bushings, there are a lot of bushings, start spraying till you find the squeak

 

Mine does that and i put my habds on the Anti sway bar and the bushings were shot

 

thnx guys. i will let you guys know how it works out

 

If your truck has original bushings still it's time to replace. Look at the whole truck bushing kits from Atlantic British. I like the Orange polybushes myself. I'd stay away from and rubber bushings that aren't Genuine or the PR2 by AllMakes. I would RUN away from AllMakes cheaper line.

 

Think this is the set I bought it was the best price I found

POLY BUSHING SET RANGE ROVER CLASSIC, DEFENDER 90 & DISCOVERY, PBS1115 - Rovers North - Classic Land Rover Parts

 

thnx guys. i will go ahead and change the bushings out. i believe its the original ones still

 

I'm gonna need to do this kit too. Is this a hand tool only type job, or is a hydraulic press needed? Thanks.

 

Hydraulic press type job.
