My 2000 disco is awesome, i just finding new questions to ask. My steering wheel seems to feel a little lose around corners any suggestions. no popping or cracking noses just the feeling and it is not real bad. Steering Damper?

 

How many miles on your truck, do you do much wheeling, does the truck get real tracky on the road, do you rotate your tires, are they showing any unusual wear, is the truck lifted???

75000 miles not lifted not to much off roading just the occasional mud puddle. Thanks

 

How about tire wear, what do they look like? What sort of air pressure are you running?
Are yor shock and sprongs originial? If so, they are shot and may be a small part of your problem.
Most likely your steering stablizer died long ago, and it could be a big part of the problem along with may be a bad tie rod end.
So my suggestion would be to rotate your tires if the rears look to have better wear, replace the old steering stabilizer with a new OME stabilizer and head to a good alignment shop, that is familiar with 4 wheelers, and have him check all the steering componets and toe setting.

Get the pitman arm (the arm from the power steering box)
to the other linkage checked.
I took mine in for a alignment and the dealer found it.
Mine had felt a little lose also.
Cost me $ 155 with the alignment.

 

He will need to get all the steering arm componets checked along with the pitman arm, anyone of which will cause the problem he is experiencing as well as bad tire wear, alignment and air pressure.

Yes but that is a known point to fail.
Start with what is most likely and work from there.

 

i can only add a steering gear box check. others have aready covered the rest. duboff

 

That is a good add, I had to replace mine at around 36,000.
Still feel the best thing to do is get it on an alignment rack and start checking, item by item, it will show up.
