I've got a S1 Disco....which is nice...
I also have a 2" lift on it....with Pro Comp 9000 Shocks.... which are nice.
Tyres are 750x16 on NATO rims....

However the Disco leans to the right...
I've PolyBushed it all round, just incase the bushes had collapsed...but it has not helped any.

I'm pulling my hair out here, please could anyone help.
I've read other posts on this using the search, but.. still at a loss. Any help would be greatfully recieved.

Thanks guys and gals.

Cheers.

Matt

Hi Matthew
What springs have you got in there?
Some OME are handed and this may be your problem.
Try swapping one set of springs around.
Best of luck

Bollards? I'll bet you meant Bollocks! A Bollard is a post that ships are tied to... Or, the posts one sees around loading docks to keep folks from running into the building.

Yeah, I know, I should never have been taught to read, much less mathematics.

Peace,
Paul

Yep....
I was being Polite with Bollards...:o)
Bollards = Bollocks
Barstewards = Barstards

Well you get the idea... :o)

They are Trailmaster springs.

I've swapped them over already.... I think the supllier may have given me 2 of the same side.

Cheers guys

Hi Matt
Are the springs not marked up in some way?
I put OME in from Frogs Island and was more than happy with there service.
How much lean are we talking about?
Measure from the ground to wheel arch lip.
Take it back, and get them to sort it out, if all else fails OME do a plastic disc that sits under the spring to compensate for lean. Shouldn`t be too difficult to get a spacer made locally, check the tech section for dimensions.
Where in the UK are you?

Only marked front and back.. not left or right.... :o(
The supplier is quite a way from me....
I've go the rest of my polybushes to put on too, so I'll do that first and keep y'all posted.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers.
