I am getting lots of body roll. this is worse on the offside. The car seems 2 be leaning. what can i check?

the car is a 2003 golf v5 i have just brought. Also i cant take bumps as well on this side of my car. Its as if its been slightly lowered on one side Please help

Answers:
The shock has collapsed or the anti rollbar has gone - the bushes on the anti roll bar have broken. Could even be a snapped spring.
My husband is a self-employed mechanic and had the same thing with a v reg bmw, it turned out it was the spring, it had only snapped one though.
Good luck though, one word of advice, don't take it to the main dealer as they have a tendancy to not fix the problem and still charge you half what the cars worth to 'sort' it!
Can't you take it back to where you bought it? If its on finance through a garage, they have to repair it.
Check the shocks and springs. You may have broken one.
Youve broken a spring, get it sorted out as its dangerous.
check the tire pressure and the front end
Sit on the other side. LOL
Shocks and springs need checked. Better to upgrade them if you can anyways.
Lose some weight lardy!
Sounds like anti roll bar / torsion bar, but could be shock absorber or springs if leaning on one side, or worn bushes
shock absorber, springs or wishbones
youve got a broken spring
