Bouncy Ride!

Hi, I am getting really confused with my little daisy now , she is a 1997 P Disco 300TDi, as standard as they come, but getting very bouncy on the roads around here! My wife, 41 weeks pregnant, is getting worried about our soon to be son's head breaking with the bounce! Does anyone know of a way to stop the laft to right roll and bounce on these? Any help would be appreciated! Many thanks.

sounds like your dampers are shot

bounce test: press down, returns to original position! Thats on all 4.

complain to your local roads maintenance department

I would do, but they don't do anything with this main road! It cuts about 2 mile each way off my journey, a hell of a lot of money a month! But I am serious about trying to solve this. I have just stopped the steering shakes and now ant to make the ride smoother, It feels fine in a Clio and my mates defender, just mine

that may well be true, but the fact that your getting a bouncy ride should tell you that they are not doing their job correctly

assuming you have the correct tyre pressures ?

Have you checked your tyre pressures?

Try running them at slightly higher pressure (10% more) and see how that feels.

I'll try that, but they should be fine after getting the tracking done 3 weeks ago!

Anti-Roll bar ball joints and shocks are worth a check, not expensive to replace.
