Hi guys,

I've got a 95 3.9ltrDisco. OME HD 2� lift.

When I accelerate hard on a right turn I hear and feel "clunks" from the rear. This does not seem to happen on left hand turns.

I've had a look underneath and the only thing I could see out of place was a small tear on the rotoflex. This has only done 10,000km since I replaced it last. I can't understand how it could be this though as the problem occurs only on right-hand turns.

Everything else looks ok.

Any ideas what it could be? bearings, rotoflex etc.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks

check all your bushings, including the front arms, often you can get some clunks up there

if there is a tear in the rtotoflex you need to replace it right away..

they have a center pin that keeps them from flying apart in anything but the most torn up state

but it still needs to be swapped out.

as rob said above check the check the front radius arms and the rear trailing arms to see if the bushings are bad
