Freelander 1 Ingenious idea for helping diagnose suspension fault!

flanagaj · Oct 28, 2015

I came across this great idea whilst searching for possible reasons for knocking noise on the hippo.

I have a go pro so will give that a try to see if I can see what is going on. Clever idea.

I used the same technique for checking the bushes in my Discovery 3 (the vehicle recorded on that video). The rear bushes on the lower arms are hydrobushes and fail with alarming regularly

The Freelander bushes last much longer.

Magnetic mount or duct tape

I've used an old Galaxy S 3 phone taped to the chassis before now with good results. Luckily the phone didn't fall off!
I have a USB endoscope too which I use for the same thing, also taped into place underneath.

G clamp a strip of wood with nails sticking out to the underneath for the gorilla pod stand to hang onto.

A crowbar is a lot less expensive.
