Anyone have any setting you'd recommend for better freeway handling? I find that my LR3 get a little wobbly when I'm driving over 45mph and making turns.
Thanks to all who read this.

 

It shouldn't....I'd check your tires for uneven wear or possibly being unbalanced. Maybe the alignment? How are the bushings and tie-rods?

 

Thanks for responding. All tires, bushings, alignment are all in good order. For the most part the handling is solid, it's just sometimes on high speed turns the handling isn't amazing, maybe it's my expectations that are off its not a sports car. I was just wondering if there is a way to improve the handling? Would lowering the air suspension get a better feel?
To be fair it has been very windy when I noticed this, so this is defiantly a factor.

 

Nah... something is off. The LR3, while not a sports car indeed, handles incredible well for its size. Mainly because its so bottom heavy. I can pull a 50MPH curved ramp at 70MPH without even feeling like it will let go. I would take a look at the suggestions. The rear upper arms are lateral links have a massive influence on handling. Even 1mm of play in the later link rod makes it really twitchy.

 

Thanks, I'll have a look to see if I can see any issues. Is there anything specific to look for? Maybe it is just the tires. Like I said it's stability is pretty solid but occasionally it sways. Another thing I notice is the DSC going off on some turns, my commute has many winding roads. Should I just turn off the DSC for regular driving?

 

Is DSC is going off, you 100% have something going on. Make sure all the tires are the same size and inflated. Its amazing how low they can get without looking low or even tripping the tire pressure light (if equip). I would re-check the bushings. Mainly front lower arm and rear upper arms. Use a pry-bar, work them. Some slight play is normal, its a bushing after all. In the far back are the lateral links the two long rods that connect the rear knuckles to the frame. Sorta as at a 45 degree angle. Best to raise the truck and check this stuff too for play, easier. And when lifted, check wheel bearings for play. In the front, check the tie-rods. So for front bearing check for play by crabbing eh wheel at top/bottom but for the tie rods grab is side to side.

As for DSC, it works incredibly well. Saved my butt a few times. I myself would leave it on. When everything is good its not an issue.

 

Wow really appreciate this advice. I'm glad I posted about this, thank you! Going to have a look this weekend.

 

For a big brick they handle really well, before xmas on my way back from a trip i came home via a nice curvy mountain rd thru a forest and uphill. Whacked it into sport mode and lowered the suspension 25mm ( Llams) and pushed it, was able to keep it up at about 80kph with some tyre squeal going around the bends - wish i had recorded it now.
I don't think my Triumph Daytona would have been much better.

 

All good suggestions. Check wheel hubs/bearings as well. When mine were going out I had some poor handling a few times

 

Just a follow up, there was a broken sensor and an issue with the rear arms. You guys were right! I got it fixed and my LR3 is handling very smooth. Thanks for all you advice.
