out of control discovery help needed

i didnt post the thread to get peoples backs up,i really do need help with this.the car is booked in at landrovers on wednesday after bank holiday so i will let everyone know how i got on.so can we use this forum for what it is is meant for and not to slag each other off.also as mentioned in previous threads the problem is without the caravan on,the caravan when on the back only exagerates the problem.thanks to all who have replied (poitive and negative)even the caravan haters.

i reckon yer bushes are shagged, fit a set of poly bushes and a new steering damper and it will be right as rain

the disco has gone in and hopefully i will have a better one back later.will keep you in the know about the fault when i get it back

Same here bud. V8 disco 1991. 4 berth 18ft caravan (With Alko tow ball stabiliser) Pass lorrys and so on between 70-80mph with no wobble but I can still feel the being sucked towards the lorry bit.

Yella, I take it when you say the bushes are "shagged" you are refering to the Bushes on the panhard rod and radius arm? if not what bushes are you refering to as my disco is doing a similar thing, having replaced the steering damper it has made the problem 80% better but not the whole job.

yes the bushes in the radius arms and panhard, get em done and it will be like a new motor, the kit from paddocks is about the cheapest i think

I too chaps tow a van it's a swift challenger I am no expert having just started towing but are you using any anti- snake devices when towing...

Any news on this yet gordon

land rover have found nothing which is a bit of concern as the warranty runs out at the end of the month

I was going to suggest a stabiliser problem but without the caravan this sounds serious I tow a Bailey with Disco and Freelander-not a problem

If lorry drivers hate caravaners why don't caravaners hate lorry drivers?

Problem could be caused by towing hitch being too high, or wrong air pressure in tyres. BB
