'04 Disco unstable at high speed/wind
Hi,
I am a new LR owner. Recently purchased an 04 Disco and have noticed two concerning things:
1) Car feels very unstable when traveling at high speed (~70 MPH). Specifically, I live in CO and there is an exposed hill on the drive that connects Denver to Boulder where I always notice it. It feels as if someone turned the steering wheel and that I am going to drive off the road. I assume that it may be from a gust of wind but I notice it MUCH MUCH more when I am in the LR. I have driven over the same hill with a Nissan Murano and a Subaru Impreza and barely notice the gusts and it certainly does not feel like it is redirecting the car.
Is this just b/c the Disco has a more narrow wheel base and a taller frame than the Murano/Impreza or could there be more to it?
2) The other concern I have is with the steering. This may just be a LR thing, but I noticed that it feels as if the power steering has a much slower reaction time than any car I have previously owned. For example, after making a slow right turn on a quiet neigborhood street, I feel like I have to physically readjust the steering wheel to get the car to go straight, otherwise it would continue to turn (albeit at a slower rate) and drive into the sidewalk.
Sorry for the novice questions, but I am new to LRs and not the most mechanically inclined.
Thanks,
Jon
