Hey guys, thanks for the replies...
Disco, I consider myself an Intermediate mechanic, I come from a Muscle Car building background...I'm only meticulous the first time I do things because I'll begin to look at how everything goes together, what connects to what, be amazed at how different LRs engineering is from other vehicles, and finally begin to slowly dissasemble, while taking mental notes about everything I'm doing. When time comes for reassembly, and for second times around in the future, I work quicker. What should have been a 15 minute job to change the dampener, took about an hour because I spent a lot of time looking at the underside of the engine and front end since it was my first time under the Rover...MUCH different from what I was used to in pre-73 autos.
Hank, I've never touched anything down there so I'm guessing it still has the stock Oil...or actually, I've never had a leak from there so as the saying goes, "If its not leaking, its empty"..lol
Dent, you know I have not checked the bearings. I do apologize because I should have mentioned this when I noticed but, the sound only comes on a FULL Left when backing up, and then when straightening out when moving foward. It barely sounds when at FULL Right and backing out. And what you said about recording it, I was thinkin about doing that today on my drive home, just need to find my recorder.
