I believe there was an issue with the oil leaking within the dampers on these vehicles. It could be worth searching for previous posts concerning this.

Check the front track control arm bushes , can you twist the upper part even with the car on the ground . Do the same for the lower arm ( Wishbone ) bushes . You need the car jacked up for this . |

We had a 3.6TDV8 and a 4.4 Autobiography with 32k sat on the drive on 21” wheels for a while and I can’t say I thought it wallowed or was over floaty (for a RR) I actually thought they both drove exceptionally well just the L405 was if anything flatter and more controlled when pushing on, not that you ever do in a RR and was generally just quieter. My other half couldn’t tell any difference in ride quality which I thought was a testament to the L332. Sold - Bell a 2015 MY16 Loire Blue Autobiography 4.4 SDV8

I was surprised to see how "wallowy" the L405 (20") is compared to the L322 (19"). We went to Greece last summer with friends that drove an Audi Allroad (3.0 TDI) and although we could keep up with them in straight line, the RR didn't stand a chance in curves... The dynamic mode helps, but not much... I think I read somewhere an interview in which a JLR person declared that clients required a smoother ride... |

If they(JLR) would also focus on autobahn and nürnburgring performance, it would not be one of the best go anywhere suv anymore. Smoothness and comfort over high speed and curves performance anytime. |

Just sayin' that the L322 was much less scarier in curves... And performed quite well on rough surfaces too... |

Doesn't help the OP, but the reduction in body roll is one of the reasons I went for the V8 over the V6 diesel. But even with the anti roll system it still has more float and vertical movement than I like on a twisty road, so I put it into Dynamic which helps and doesn't ruin the ride. MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid
