Help, my Disco 2 has always had a shake and bumpiness under acceleration, been trying to diagnose for about 6 mos, so far I have:

changed out wheels tires with my other disco that had no issues and it’s still there

checked prop shafts for play, they are super tight

upgraded suspension (terrafirma) shocks springs and skeleton towers… Still there

its only bad and shows under hard acceleration 3k plus rpm’s and while the rough bumpiness almost always shows, especially at high speeds 70-85 under acceleration only. Today at about 50 under hard acceleration it pulled super hard to the right and I pushed it harder to try to figure it out…. Still no idea, as soon as I back off and re engage normal acceleration it disappears. Almost wish something would break so I can fix it….. motor mounts ? Ball joints ? Bushings ? Any ideas
posted pics of bushings ball joint and mounts
and rear steering arm, possibly slightly bent

 

Is there way to test motor/trans mounts, seem like a symptom? I can’t seem to get a pry bar in a god spot. More pic’s of mounts attached,

 

You could try a bottle jack under the oil pan. I’d put a piece of wood between the jack and the pan, but the pan is really quite robust on its own.

 

You have a torn ball joint boot so there is a better than average chance that at least one ball joint is bad. Have you checked the ball joints and CV joints? The ends on the steering rod and tie rod? They can be checked without disassembling anything.

 

Great idea on the jack! Looks like both motor mounts and at least 1 tranny Mount! Wonder what’s holding the engine and tranny in ? I’ll be looking into checking ball joints too ! THANK YOU
