Would have thought as the weight lifted off the front right it was then free to have a wobble so maybe start there. |

Not as easy as you think getting 24" alloys balanced. Went into kwikfit and they said they wouldn't fit the machine and recomended going to a lorry place! Not sure if i want to leave my wheels/car with a lorry place!!

Perhaps your suspension doesnt like having bigger wheels than it was designed to have with a rubber band as a tyre?

I'm not sure the FF has a steering damper |

I was thinking some sort of steering bush/rubber thats worn out as dosn't happen when cornering the other way eg transferring weight to drivers side. The large wheels may have accelarated issue but i still need to fix. Thers lots of RR running around on 22's with similar profile tyres! |

There are two arms on each side at the bottom of the suspension which have rubber bushes. The bushes can be replaced but LR always tell you they are on back order, usually about 6 weeks, therefore the only other option is to buy complete arms.

Go one better chuck it on the rear opposite side just to eliminate it if nothing else. 2010 Disco XS TDV6, 2009 Freelander 2 GS

Also get your steering control arms checked out. My drivers side was knackered (dangerous! according to tame mechanic). Caused violent wheel wobble / vibration at speed (German motorway) and when accelerating hard / up an incline. Other sign is having to hold steering wheel off centre to go straight. @ £70 fitted a side. .

Runs fairly true in straight line but guess getting suspension checked is best course of action.
