Just got a new used 2004 in awesome condition (my 3rd one of these). Have replaced all the coils and shocks with oem parts and examined and torqued to spec all body to chassis mounting bolts, all rubber washers seem to be the same width. Reason I did this is because a: I want the car perfect and b: the RH front of the car was 1 1/4" higher than all the other corners so when viewed from the rear the Disco looked like it was leaning to driver's side. A complete suspension overhaul has not remedied this situation at all. The car handles and rides perfectly. There are no visible signs of any accident and none in the car fax. I never had this situation on any other disco.

Besides a normal service history, Land Rover did do a short block replacement on this at the dealership under warranty at 67k (90k on it now) but I don't see how that could impact the RH height. Tires and rims are all the same with standard inflation (32psi F/40 psi R). Front axle is new, not that it matters.

I am stumped. Any ideas?

 

the front springs can be installed incorrectly, unlike the rears

 

Did you put the "taller" springs (front and rear) on the driver side?
As mentioned above: the front springs have to sit specifically in place. If you look at the spring seats you will see a notch in the plate. When installing spin the spring until it "drops-in" place. Make sure the passenger side has the right spring installed (the shorter of the two front) and is sitting in the notched section of the plate.

 

The spring seats (or perch plates as some refer to them as) are located on the axle.

Install the flat part of the coil facing up and the rounded part of the coil facing down. The rounded part of the coil sits in the notched section of the spring seat on the axle. Spin it so it seats and the spring sits level on the spring seat.

 

Why did you install OEM over priced, quick wearing springs?
Would have been a lot better of with one of the older better aftermarket lifts.
As for the height difference most likely, as already mentioned, crossed the front springs.

 

It's a street car for me, I installed the allmakes OEM-like springs and coils. Cost me 230 bucks for all, springs and coils. Ride is phenomenal. Had OME coils before, ride was too stiff. Thrilled with this set up. Will check how they mounted the coils, but remember, this problem existed before the new springs and coils were installed.

 

Just checked the install of all coils. Perfect. FWIW, the guy who installed them was a former heard of a local LR Dealership service dept. He knows his stuff.

Now that this is ruled out, other ideas??

 

"the guy who installed them was a former heard of a local LR Dealership service dept. He knows his stuff."

So what does he say? he knows his stuff

 

he's in a different state from where I am now.
