| Anti Roll bar bushes & tyres |
|
Just done 30k & have had to have my rear anti roll bar bushes replaced. Don't drive my disco particularly hard so is this normal. Can anyone help?
Also still unsure what tyres to get, have stuck to the Pirrelli scorpion so far, but they're not wearing that well. I know its a heavy vehicle but any suggestions would be great. The garage have suggested I try Good Year...
Many Thanks Anita

If you are runniing 18" wheels which as you have an SE i assume you are, then either the Grabber AT2 or the Pirelli ATR are better choices than either the Pirelli zero you have had or the Good Year that you are being recommended
Contact AJS tyres (site sponsor) for more help and great prices
ARB bushes at 30k sounds very low, presumably under warranty though!  I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

Got my Anti-roll bar brushes changes at the rear yesterday after 87k. No more suspension knocking and seems a smoother ride. I think the parts are cheapish but the labour is 2-2.5 hours. SOLD - 23my Range Rover Sport D300 Dynamic SE

ARB bushes do wear pprematurely there should be some rubber shims they put in as they get worn.
Make sure you have a full tank of fuel and get them to put it in geometry set mode before the wheel alignment is done. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€
