So I took sum time to just do sum TLC to ma disco as she duz me very well!! I noticed the rear right wheel wobbles- feels like a wheel bearing. Duz any one know a cheap place for these or even if it’s not actually the bearing- what it could be.
Also I got a leak from my steering.. The arm that comes out of the unit which the steering unit is all oily and there’s a nice puddle.. Looks like it maybe coming from the shaft that it mounted on to! Any one got any thoughts on this?
 
I'm no expert,but the unit you are on about,is the steering box. There are seal kits for these but jave read in other post they can be tricky todo. Thing the kit is abot £20. As for the wheel wobble Then could be a wheel bearing,or could just be that the wheel nut are loose. As for bearings got mine from ebay £12 inc p&p. You can tighten up the bearings. But you will need a 52mm box spanner,or you can you like some do on here a hammer and screwdriver or chisel.
 
Ah kool ok ill check the bearing.. hope its just a case of doing it up a lil. As for the Steering box.. **** lol, hope it aint to hard!
 
its not something i've done yet,but knowing my landy i will have to at some point lol. The steering boxes can be dear. I've done a few bearings now and its a easy. One thing to remember is when you pull the halfshaft out be careful putting it back in as,not to damage the seal inside. Other than that happy days.
cheers alex
