Land Rover Steering Help

[liamjordan]

Alright guys

 

Just got home, and as i was coming up the lane my landy's steering started pulling a hell of a lot to the left, at first i thought i may have a flat, had a look and nope, didnt have a look under the hood at the steering arms its dark and i wanted to get inside.

 

I wont be needing it till monday really so its not a major thing at the moment, just wondering if anyone could suggest what it may be, off the top of their head like, so i know what i may be in store for

 

Oh yeah its a 1984 Land Rover 90

 

 

Cheers

Liam

Just check it over, brake binding? Or a problem with the tracking, ball joints etc. A good look round ought to show something.

i've just been thinking it could be a brake binding as i did hear a squeeking (one i havent heard before ahah) that sounded like a brake the other day, will have to have a good look in the light

 

cheers man

the wheelclamp on my ifor is tested (by me) to 5mph:blushing:

seized or part seized brake caliper or a bent track rod if you been driving off road.

not been off road in her recently, so im recon it would be the brakes

Just have in read your post, sounds similar to a problem we had a while ago with a jeep my boss bought. Checked everything, brake calipers, tracking rods, brake discs, control arm bushings, suspension, tyres, wheel bearings, etc. couldn't figure the problem until hours into our search we discovered....

If it happens under breaking and dives for the nearside it will likley be a seized calliper on the off side.

 

If it happens without braking it’s a problem with the nearside calliper. (Worn linings can turn in the calliper)

 

Either way it sounds like time for a brake overhaul
