Excessive roll

Beneagles · Feb 19, 2013

Had a rough-ride issue recently - and garage replaced the Watts linkage. Now find that when cornering at low speed there is excessive roll once straightened out. Nothing obvious when driving normally...only after turning corners and such. Tyre pressures all 32psi +/- 2. No feeling of anything transferring through the steering column..more like the body pitching from side to side. Any ideas? Cheers

ARB bushes?

1. I'd be putting 36-38psi in those back tyres;

2. Does the car still have ACE ?

Currently no load in the back of the Disco... but will try a higher pressure.
ACE is long gone.

Would have thought ARB bushes would effect driving at all speeds, rather than just low??

From the Disco owner's manual, for what it's worth.
Under no load conditions:
Front 30 psi
Rear 38 psi

What exactly does ACE being long gone mean?

Were the roll bars replaced with non ace ones?

thebiglad · Feb 20, 2013

David has a good point there, if the ACE has been removed/disabled and the ACE arb's were not replaced with the thicker non-ACE arb's, that will induce roll.

the watts would not affect roll just lateral movment, have your checked steering linkages or the arb's?
