- How to disconnect & reconnect lower steering column on a 1998 - 2004 Land Rover Discovery 2.
Important: your wheels need to be straight forward when you do this. There's a slot for a long bolt to keep it straight at the bottom of your steering box but I didn't have a bolt that fit so I was just super careful.
When I initially took the column out I used a degreaser to clean it up real good and then Krud Kutter Rustex, a wire brush & a wire wheel to take some rust off. Then I sprayed it with engine safe paint to seal up the rust and then added grease to the u-joints & spline connectors. Not a bad idea if you are going to the trouble of disconnecting this thing.
Why did I need to adjust my steering wheel? I recently swapped out the steering box (which was binding on right-turns) and the new one was off-center when it was removed from its vehicle.
The RAVE manual says that you can just pop the steering wheel off (actually quite a few steps including the airbag) and put it back on to straighten things out but that it's not going to help you for slight tweaks and if you go down that path you'll want to make sure you don't mess up the left/right turn blinker turn-off thing, whatever that is called.
Hey old subscribers, if this is not interesting to you I apologize. Thanks again for hanging around all these years, We Have Girlfriends is one of the most fun things I ever got to be a part of. This year my main hobby is learning to work on cars by fixing up this monster truck I've been driving for a couple of years. Been getting pretty _okay_ at it and felt like this one was a pretty significant upgrade from the silent video I posted last time lmao, lmk what you think
Welcome back 🤗 not into cars myself but will stick around to see what your up too
I love seeing new content from you! I grew up watching the videos you and Mitchell and Kyle made. I’m 22 now and it’s so cool to see a bit of an update. Wishing you the best❤️
By far my FAVORITE Disco repair video. Seriously. Oscars for editing and cinematography.
PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE! Or start a Disco Channel if the subs cry.
HE'S BACK!!!
Thanks for the sub! Looks like you're hot on my heals. I like your story line, clean shots and your brevity in your dialogue.
Wow hi again
oh hey
Sigh… guess I gotta rewatch this whole channel again
Seemed overly complicated, unless of course, when you installed the steering box you didn’t center the drop arm first or installed the steering shaft off by a few splines by accident. Assuming all that was done correctly adjusting the length of the steering drag link will fine tune the centering of the steering wheel. Lengthening the drag link turns the wheel to the left and shortening the link adjusts it to the right I believe. It’ll take a few attempts and test drives to verify it is correct but you’ll get it.
Are you ever going to post more stories 😮💨🥺
Probably someday
So that’s left hand drive yes because my air box is on the opposite side, any hoo I’ll figure it out, thanks for the video
this that good shit
Wheels at noon got it
How in the hell did you upload to this dead account
Only _mostly_ dead!
why didn't you just unbolt the steering wheel and move it round a few teeth it's a lot easier
So much easier to just remove the steering wheel and move it one spline either way 🤣
I was thinking that myself. Done it a few times without any issues. Why would you do it this way?
I missed your voice
Totally wrong procedure..adjust the steering arm from the steering box to align steering wheel.
Do you mean the steering adjuster nut or actually pulling the drop arm off?
If you adjust this arm length to centre up the steering wheel you will probably have more turns from centre to lock to lock.
