lifts about a inch.

Jut got back From Bures Today.

Great day out, :) didnt get stuck at all :)

After driving on the main roads for 4.5 hrs today i have noted that when power is down it drives fine. As soon as you lift off, the car wanders to the middle of the road and you have to correct it, which starts it swaying.

Keep your foot on the throttle and accelerate and its fine.

Coast along or just slight power it wallows about.


I think ill try disconecting the front drive shaft this week to see what happens.

Annoyingly that's almost classic symptoms of a worn trailing link bush.  Passenger's side at a guess.

BTW, an inch is fine, no more than I'd expect.

Hmmm.... new tyres on the back recently and I am having the exact same problem..... quite scary passing lorries on the motorway tbh.....

Will be looking into it over the next couple of days, will post findings myself as well ;)

Lower tyre pressures did helpa smudge, but still not happy :(

LR did recomend fitting 4 tyres at once, though on the LSE I've got away with fitting part-worn.  Try swaping front to back Bowie.

Was on my list of things to do tbh :)

Fronts are probably at 60% tread, but for BFG M/T I guess that's quite a bit ;)
