2013 disco 4 test drive wandering all over road

Hey guys I’ve been away from disco 4 ownership for 4 years and am just coming back after viewing a few I have found one I really like only a few villages away !

It has comprehensive history just had belts manifolds etc from a reputable spot etc etc

My problem with it is it has a full new set of general grabber at3s on and receipt says it has had 4 wheel alignment also but when driving at speed it feels like it wanders all over the place and you are constantly having to correct which makes it even worse could this be down to tyre pressures ? After test drive gave the rears a bang with my hand across the tread solid as a rock ? Wondering if this would have that affect on the steering/severe wandering boat feeling …

Don’t want to right this one off as service spec and condition is the best I viewed

It can be pretty much anything suspension related….. besides wrong tire pressure. The bushings on the upper rear control arms. Wheel bearing. Etc.

If it got an alignment, ask to see the report. You should get one with the situation before and after.

Are they directional tires and on backwards?
Oversized. Consult this: https://tiresize.com/pressure-calculator/
If spacers. See scrub angle: https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/
As suggested for the alignment.
And if the bushings are gone…

Some adjust the ride height without re-adjusting the alignment…

This situation certainly does not sound right to me. 2015 LR4 HSE Lux Aintree Green
