When it's next in for service I will definately get them to check...

Have you demonstrated the issue to a tech? Unless they see a fault code, then nothing will be done. If you can show them, then theyncan get a LR factory tech down to investigate.. Gone:

No I haven't because it's quite difficult to replicate and only on certain roads/bends does it seem to happen. It's mainly on long motorway slip roads with a decent radius... the north side M25/ A40 junction, the M25 M26 /a21 junction etc where you come in at a reasonable speed but not so high to induce torque vectoring.... it's just at that point in mid bend where that unsettling is positively the last thing you want to happen! |

I had something like this in my 2011 clunker when I switched from Continental Sports to Pirelli Scorpions. Without putting some Contis back on to compare (in case of other wear) I cannot say for sure, bit it would be interesting to know what model tyres you are running on for the record. L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso

Mine is fitted with Continental 22's..... it's not the tyre breaking away it is some sort of movement in the diff or suspension arms which feels as though it's altering its alignment but it is very disconcerting and not all all reassuring.... it literally feels like when you hit a manhole cover in the wet. |

Waddle...you are right! Despite raising this with the service desk every time the car has gone in for service they found nothing! Should learn to trust my own instincts more.... It got so bad that now any take up in the drivetrain you can feel the knock....including any manoeuvre I.e. Right turn /left turn which places added stress on the suspension arms... it has got so bad now that you can feel the car tram lining from the back...horrible feeling.... Well surprise surprise they have now diagnosed it as suspension bushes....which again are on back order! Have got the car finally booked in for next week to effect repairs and I await the dealer diagnosing my flat battery issue as well....( see other thread) Who knows by the time I come to move it on at three years old I will have rectified all the faults ready for the next owner! |

I experienced something similar recently on some long sweeping right handers.

Torque Vectoring perhaps? |

Had the rear suspension bushes replaced and solved problem...first noticed this at 20,000 miles. These are oil filled and had clearly failed early on....anyone with similar traits it may be worth getting yours checked out! |
