You fitted Vogue wheels and tyres to your Sport? Was this before or after you experienced the poor handling? 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

it was aftermarket alloys that fitted both , it handled like a boat before the wheels where put on so not the wheels , Just had to get different bolts if i rememeber , it was from a specialist alloy wheel place |

Sounds like you have a mechanical failure somewhere as it shouldn't be boat-like in its handling. It's certainly got better handling than a Vogue which is usually described as being boat-like. Is it still on its original suspension bushes etc.? Is the Dynamic Response system in good shape? What about the dampers - are they original? 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Tbh I don't know ,only had the car about 9 months , what would you recommend getting changed ? There's no codes coming up so I'm assuming bushes would be a good start .thanks |

First get the suspension alignment properly checked and adjusted. Then worry about changing things... 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Check tyre pressures too - also check that you've not mixed brands.

I'd be surprised if the wheels/tyres from the Vogue are helping the issue but he says it was bed before the change of wheels.

I had a similar problem with my 2005 SC when I got it, it was knackered wheel bearings, 450 for both sides now she tracks straight and true, and it got rid of the wheel wobble at motor way speed, jack the front up and grip the wheel at 12 and 6 and move it back and forward, if there's a lot of play there's ur issue |
