So have you ever seen a blown u-joint nailed to the wall that shows what happens to them.
I have replace one roto-flex at around 85,000 mile after running more trails then most can dream about.
Sure they can fail, but it will take a week or more of driving for them to let loose compared to a u-joint failure that will give you little or no warning.

Honestly did not know that Mike. I know that the rear shaft on my former 98 D1 failed and afew chunks of the shaft and the rear most u-joint were missing.... well if I keep the roto-flex, i should at least inspect it. What should I look for? Just signs of tearing/cracking in the rubber?

Well my Disco has 130K and I haven't inspected the roto-flex yet, but ill add that to my list, and thanks for the tip regarding its compatibility with a 3" lift!!!! Im still very interested in the lift, but that will have to wait.

Not sure if you resolved the steering wheel issue. I replaced my tie rod ends and thought i had the steering wheel straight before removing and replacing them. I guess i did not as my steering wheel was way off. I took it to an alignment shop and am good to go again,$80. Check to see if any ball joints have been replaced recently. BTW that is a gorgeous Disco, that is my favorite color combo. Congrats!

Each to their own right?
You're a Rover tech, have you ever seen a advantage to where over priced fluids and filters did any good?
