Default Wifes 03 Disco 2 is drifting/pulling left and right?

Hi Guys,

The wife is down in napa and her disco is intermittently pulling both left and right at all speeds. She said it sometimes has a more pronounced jerk either way was well? Doesn't seem to happen when braking. Any ideas?

Sounds like something actually broke/disconnected if it happened all of a sudden. Tie Rods or similar? I would not drive it until it has been up on a rack for inspection.

So, if you are not mechanical to find and fix this problem, especially since your wife drives this, have it towed to a good Rover/alignment shop and let us know what you find.

Dirtnap, where are you located? You say down in Napa, does that mean physically south of where you are from? I'm in Placerville, CA...

I'd really try to convince her to not drive it until it's checked. You really don't want it darting into oncoming traffic. I've personally had it happen, but luckily missed hitting anyone. I had a tie rod break loose. You can loose complete control of steering.
