Yes-- I would check out those locations on your vehicle. But also do the "Channel Lock" squeeze check on your tie-rod ends as I describe. The wind gust problem is one I also had on my Classic. These particular Land Rovers can exhibit a "tail happy" feel on the highway when the suspension bushings are shot. I replaced all of mine with Poly bushings, including those on the sway bar mounts. It now tracks true, and feels tight. No more wandering and dreading a Semi kicking me around on the Interstate. I'm glad you picked up some tips from my site. Call or e-mail me if you need the parts to restore your vehicles handling.

Regards,

Mike McLaughlin
