LZ I need some help. My dear old mum has an early L322, diesel with just shy of 61k on the clock. Generally it is a good motor but I drove it yesterday and it doesn't feel at all stable. The air suspension rises as it should and I'm not aware of the compressor running to compensate for a leaking air bag.

I noticed at a change of road surface the body felt like it lurched sideways, I was only doing 60 and it was not what I expected. The wheels and tyres are standard, tyres are up to pressure. The dampers seem O.K. turn in on corners didn't feel quite right either but I'm used to my old classic which is not really a reliable comparison.

Are there any known handling/steering issues with the early L322's or problems with suspension bushes or the like. Any info greatly appreciated. Cheers.

:bump2: Anybody?

jack it up and check it out, firmly grab all four wheels at 12 and 6 oclock, and 3 and 9 and check for any play and take it from there
