morning all...
I lowered my 90 2, 1/2" and its got range rover sport wheels on running 275/40/20.. the drivers side wheels stick out more than the passenger side about 1" differents. I no you can buy a pan hard rod for the front but the back you cant do anythink about that... Does anyone know why they are sticking out further than the other side. Ive ask loads of people but they dont no why :(

How would that even affect it? Please explain?....


Jay, the front is caused by the length of the panhard rod - you could fit an adjustable version, and realign the front suspension when at the desired ride height.

The rear is a bit stranger though - the rear axle is located centrally by the rear A Frame - so in theory the axle will only move up and down in one plane (unlike the front axle).

I would understand a twist (if you ever look at a land rover when cross axled, you will see that the rear axles 'walks' - highlighted more with extended suspension)...

Is the wheel perpendicular the rest of the car? - you could put a piece of string around all four wheels and look for gaps or ideally you need to go on a proper alignment rig. It is you then you have a misaligned chassis (damage or fault from new)... or even a faulty axle case.

If the wheel is on a twist (i.e. not 100% perpendicular) to the rest of the vehicle then you may have weak trailing arm bushes, weak A frame bushes etc. Or even one trailing arm longer than the other.

Wouldn't be the first time, my 90 came from the factory with the rear trailing arm mount 1" further back on offside than nearside.

I will take a couple of pictures when i go home tomorrow but the front & rear wheels on the drivers side are the same as they stick out an extra inch than the passenger side. Ive even had the hub converters off to see if they are all the same size and they are. Chris kill had the same problem when he lowered is blue 90..
