General question about handling

[Soggydog]

Hi - this is my first Terrano (1995 LWB diesel) after a run of discoverys, and so far so good. But I have no comparison as to how "good" the on-road handling should be. I seem to pitch a lot, front to back, on rough roads over 50mph, and there is a lot of steering wheel input required to get into a bend, but once there she's stable. I'm not sprinting around (that would be impossible anyway!) but is this normal. BTW new shocks just before I bought her, tyres are ok and pressured right, all underneath look in good order, regular 5000m services and only(!) 177k.... Thanks

Front ride height? Do your cills look roughly level they handle a lot better when wound back up to standard.
