Hi folks,
i have an early 2003 disco 2. recently i have noticed that there seems to be some excessive roll when driving, to the point that SWMBO is starting to get car sick on non motorway journeys.
I replaced the airbags with coils last year but haven't touched the front. would replacing the front suspension and/or shocks help or maybe a new set of bushes? or is it just one of those things? would firmer suspension help (not really interested in a lift mind).

cheers

I would get underneath and check for play in the ARB bushes first, are they perished etc.
Are the springs soft if u press down on each corner of the car?
 
I have a similar problem with my 1999 TD5, only mine pulls to the left and the steering wheel isn't straight while driving. Initially I thought the tracking needed attention but it has been to my local guy twice and not showing any real signs of improvement.

I use the TD5 for towing cars on a trailer and my pretty large caravan and I seem to be spending my journeys correcting the steering lol
 
Cheers for all the replays guys. Robhew96, pushing down on the suspension, how much play, wobble should there be? just pushing gently with my hand on the bonnet and there is a slight dip (but surely that is just normal suspension doing its job).
need to get underneath and have a look at the anti roll bar bushes, see if there is any play there.
