Hello group, was wondering if anyone can help me with a problem I have with my 2016 discovery sport. When Driving at speeds just above 90 km/hr to about 100km/hr I start getting heavy swaying left to right, almost the same feeling as aquaplanieing but on dry surface??? Tires are still good 50% pressure is spot on , wheels were balanced and alignment is good!! Any advice would be much appreciated. Thankyou
Heavy swaying at higher speed on highway

This doesn’t sound normal. Do you have any high crosswinds, like greater than 30 mph? I have observed similar affects at higher speeds with no crosswind. I keep things to the speed limit when traveling in windy areas.
Checking the tire pressure is good, but if they are too low it results in being to bouncy in the front. Not really like what you described.

Never had any problem on the highway at all, even crosswinds have little effect compared to other cars I have owned. Just came back from a short vacation with the car heavily laden at speed up to 120 kph with no problem.
I have my tire pressure set for normal load ie 37 psi front and rear.

I don't drive much on the hwy I only noticed on there. I took it to my mechanic they had the car for two days and told me they couldn't figure out the issue .
I would make sure all tires are at proper pressure and take for a drive. Then rotate all tires and test drive to see if ride is the same or different. Naturally I would have checked balance first. Then do a 4 wheel alignment.

I just purchased a used 2016 Discovery Sport and I am having this issue as well. Hoping someone knows the cause or fix?

Did you get the problem figured out? Mine still has the issue.
High speed wobble
Our 2016 DS wobbles only when making a left turn over 50mph. It can be on smooth or rutted tarmac and is so bad the off road braking cuts in. Tyres are all new Bridgestone and no faults in the steering, suspension or brakes can be seen. Any ideas please?

After a lot of mucking around it turned out the bushes in the rear control arms were worn out. I had the arms replaced and the car no longer wobbles. Land Rover had no idea how to resolve the problem.High speed wobble

Just had this problem rectified, left control arm was replaced for wobble when turning left. Part number LR097278 for left hand.
