Had the disco since new and it currently has 64k on. For the last 12 months the car has been making all sorts of noises. The tracking went out and I had the steering joints replaced about 15k ago. It seemed better for a while but now it's pretty bad again. The car when turning in feels like it's going to flip at a certain point. It bangs and crashes and the rear left sounds really noisy. It feels like a right bone shaker.
I don't think the wiggly driving I do when the kids are in the car has helped with the wear rate! 😬
Anyway, I've ordered everything, top and bottom arms front and rear and anti roll bar kit. While I'm having it done is there anything else I need to replace as I'm sick of it feeling like a 1960,s discovery?
In for a penny and all that.
Thanks Paul 2006 TDV6 S Auto, Buckingham Blue, for the wife and kids.

Whilst under the arches, check the steel ends of the Flexi brake hoses (2 at front, 4 at back) for corrosion and change if necessary (do fluid change at same time). It wont improve the handling but may save your life.
I guess at 64k that the suspension struts are all ok? Not sure how you test them; mine has done 155k miles and has had fronts replaced, will do rears when I've saved a few more pennies. 2005, TDV6 S, Auto, 190k miles, owned from new, V8 Brake Upgrade, Nancom Evo, RLD protector, BAS EGR blanking & Remap, separate ATF cooler, changing all the fluids ahead of time.
