Hi all,
I have a 2013 RRS with very slight steering wheel vibration at 90/100 Km/h ( no pedal vibration ) when braking from higher speeds.
I have the wheel balanced- new front discs and pads ( Ate ) - new anti-roll bar bushes on lower front control arm,- new front stabilzer bar bushes - new left front wheel hub bearing kit.
I don't know what to do anymore, can you help me ?
thank you

Have you checked the tyres for feathering,first thing to do is swap front wheels for rear & vice versa & see if that makes any difference,also are you getting any road noise like a wheel bearing as gone.? Andy.

Warpped brake discs possibly. Need to check their run-outs

Mine was and has been front rotors, like clock work they get replaced every 2 years regardless of miles on the car. The good news is it started while car was under warranty and it’s back on Dec 4 to the dealer for another set. I’ve never replaced brakes on any other car, truck, etc like this before. I’ve gone from 13,000 to 5,000 miles a year same issue.
They tried the “it’s how I drive”, which I guess could be. However all my car records don’t have this pattern and had a chuckle at the service manager a few years ago.
My guess is under speced brakes for the weight of the vehicle. My XC90 lasted for 80,000 miles no brakes. 2018 Telsa MS

Hi all,update
swapped the front wheels for rear & vice versa, checked the run- outs of the front brake discs with a dial gauge, but the problem exists......
I seem to have read somewhere that the tires of these R.R.Sports require a particular Hunter balancing machine, it is true ?
Is there a Land Rover technical bulletin on this ?
could the steering rack also be the cause ?
thank you
Giacomo

There’s also the issue of brake pads, especially non original cheap ones. These cars were never made to run on a cheap budget, unfortunately

I’ve balanced 000’s of wheels on Rangerovers & never had a problem,even using the cheaper end Chinese balancers. Andy.
