I've recently experienced a situation where my FL2 has induced massive oversteer when accelerating left out of a junction. I don't mean aggressive acceleration but a little spirited. It's handled perfectly all it's life but, instead of the normal front wheel drive or reassuringly safe four wheel drive it felt like giving a rear wheel drive a right boot full of throttle - just like driving onto oil or ice with the rear trying to swap ends needing to steer into skid to put back in shape.
This has happened at different junctions both on dry roads.
My FL2 has done 111k miles. Had minor problems with handling prior to new tyres all round and all tracking done and all then came good again until these unsettling experiences. Have had the LR Pinion bearing fix on the rear diff twice. The last time just a few months ago. Thought it was a rear shock but they seem ok (as far as it's possible to tell). The dealer has checked all mounts and torqued everything up before too with no wear reported. No leaks on the shocks reported. In a straight line it's ok. No wandering etc.
I'd like to know if anyone has had similar experiences to mine or may have any ideas.
