Hi got a 2002 discovery td5
It has a 2 inch lift and 8x16 modular wheels on
But for some reason the drivers side wheel is sticking out the arche where the passenger one is in ??? Any help on this plz .
 
Bit more history please might help others.

How long has it been like this?
Did you do the conversion and what was used?
Wheels same?

Oh and plenty pics not just of the wheel sticking out may help the disco gurus :)

But stick with it the guys will help sort this:)

J
 
It was done when I got it.all wheels are the same . Noticed also that the passenger front stick out not as much and drivers front is within the arch ?
What pictures would be of help ??
Thanks for you interest
 
Treat the car like a catwalk model and take piccies from all different angles, even underneath showing the hub area.

Don't worry if you don't get machine-gun responses... many of the forum members don't tend to be on here during the day as they need to go to work to pay for all the broken bits on their Landies. :)

Someone will be along with some suggestions soon though.
 
By how much are we talking here?

An inch? 3/8ths? 3 inches?

Has it been off roaded?

Funny looking scratchy thing on the arch suggests maybe panel damage?

Panel damage might account for your findings as the wings and quarters are independent of the main shell that is independent of the chassis.
 
Watts linkage centre housing looks a bit on the pìss. The top bush is leaning left and bottom is going to the right. Can't remember if that's normal but sure it should sit vertical.
Might be angle of the pic

If it's lifted 2" and watts bushes are worn it might have hitched the linkage up unevenly

EDIT
Looking at pics on Google, the angle looks right (or common)
I'd still check all the suspension and axle bushes for wear

Looking at that pic of the watts linkage, something ain't right to me. The right hand link bar that goes from centre pivot to chassis goes up at a sharp angle compared to other side. I know it's on the bottom of the pivot but that's too acute an angle imo. Can you post a pic of the entire linkage assembly?
 
It does look a bit wonky
