I agree that replacing the cheaper part first is a good idea, and had I taken the car to an unknown repair centre then I would do just that. The guys at landranger are 100% sure it is the wishbone after looking at it. Ref doing both, they checked the other and it was fine, at £300+ each side, for now it has to wait........ If it was a sports car then I'd agree that the handling may be impaired, a big heavy RRS.. If I'm honest, they handle pretty bad anyway (no dynamic pack on mine).

My rrs tdv6 makes the same noise as mixy described, I had a good look at all the joints etc. the only play was in the lower balljoints, they are available from land rover at only £30 each which is a fair saving on the price of a new wishbone. I have bought a pair but not done the job as yet, looks like the wishbone might have to be removed and the joint removed and new fitted in a press, so there is a labour charge to consider but should work out less than a new wishbone, hopes this helps |

Okay, now I'm thinking.... This is the plan, call landranger and check their diagnosis armed with the thoughts above. I am 99% sure they are right. They don't seem like an outfit that over charges. Had it been a LR dealer, I would be more concerned. I work in the motor trade and these days dealers just seem to replace parts until the problem goes a way..... Especially if the computer says no.... |
