Coil spring conversion

Hi guys.
I've had my 95 p38 2.5d for s year now, bags completely collapsed at 200k miles, pain in the bag so to speak!
So converted to coils.
Wonderful ride except drive home from work yesterday and the RR started to move about on the road and feels very unstable,
Could it be a blown shock as the springs seem absolutely fine :/

Check the axle to chassis tie bars to see if you have worn bushes etc.

The panhard bushes are worn so replacing the bar next week, waiting on a new one to arrive.
But it feels like it's mainly coming from the back, very bouncy...

knackered shocks?

That's what I'm thinking, unsure on what the best brand is to go for, as the shocks and springs habe given it a two inch lift along with the 3 inch chassis lift.

Im only 28 haha and wanted a toy to play with now i got devorced it was cheap to buy and over the year of ownership I've done what I had set in my mind.

Its all a bit modern for me anyway, leaf springs and a big hammer thats the way to go

yep,its like driving a boat when its not on EAS i find. In which case it would have been cheaper to buy a suzuki jeep or gaylander
