| Suspension feels very twitchy and wobbly at speed |
|
Hi all, car feels really twitchy over about 50mph quite unnerving and wobbly - any ideas, currently in the dordogne so popping to the local stealer isn't an option!

Assuming its just come on rather than something getting worse my starting point would be...
Look for play in wheel bearings, a snapped anti roll bar link, bulges in the side walls of the tyres
Other than that it's checking for free play in each of the suspension joints & bushes Paul Redding

Hi all, can't see anything noticeable - there's no banging or clattering

ok - now im worrying. car been in to LR main dealer, nothing wrong with suspension [apparently] they now want to do 4 wheel alignment check. to me the way it feels is WAY more than an alignment issue - its so god damn wobbly.......
the guy at LR said lets do the alignment check, if that doesnt show a problem they will be really scratching their heads.......not the reassurance i was looking for.
HELP!!!!

Mine is exactly the same !!!
Over 70mph its all over the place with a change of lane causing the car to wobble left,right,left then right
Wife won't drive it now and it's very disconcerting driving at speed.
In dealer first thing in morning but in deepest Dorset so going to Christchurch dealer.
