Ive got a 90 200tdi with discovery axles. put some new wheels and tyres on recently at which point i noticed (because they are bigger) that the front axle sits 1-1.5" further out towards the passenger side. i've had a weird click/knock noise over bumps for weeks but couldnt pin down the cause, but im guessing this is the problem.
So now ive had a good butchers ive also found that the drivers side radius arm chassis mount is buckled so it sits approx 1" further back than it should. I think the radius arms bushes are shot too. I havent checked the panhard rod yet.
So, can a buckled radius arm mount or knackered bushes cause the axle to sit wrong? surely the panhard rod controls sideways movement?
also, it drives OK actually, but should i be driving it like this? will it be causing damage to my diff/transfer box?
