D4 Lower Suspension Arms / D4 LCA part numbers

[wombathole]

I cant find a straight answer regarding the exact part numbers to order for D4 Lower Control Arms / Lower Suspension Arms.

Can someone please confirm the recommended front LCA part numbers for my 2010 D4?

Thanks, Andy



I'm getting confused between the following;

LR028245 & LR028249 - D3 front LCAs?

LR029304 & LR029306 - RRS and D3 armoured front LCAs?

LR025613 & LR025610 - D4 front LCAs?

I have had my 2010 D4 done in march 2014.
Part No.s were
LR025613 Left
LR025610 Right

Until I ordered them via VIN I was thinking LR028245 and LR028249 but these are for D3 it seems.

If you google the D3 ones you will find after market ones as well as OEM are available.

I got OEM sent from Duckworths in UK. I had them installed by an independent, they sort of said they would put D3 ones on if they were supplying as they are much cheaper. The OEMs for D4 were talked about as being about $860 a side for just the part for the D4 here in Australia.

It appears that after-market D4 versions are also available although you would need to be sure that you are indeed getting D4 ones instead of D3's labelled as D4. D3s will fit but won't have the D4's revised ball joint mount angle.

Hi Gerry,
What do you mean, ordered them via VIN?
Is there a web search for parts somewhere using my VIN ?

Thanks, Andy.

If you order from Duckworths and I think any LR dealer they will ask you for the VIN so you get the right parts.

I was advised (after I had fitted) that the non-OEM ones can have problems with dimensions causing wheel alignment problems.

My wheel alignment took a fair amount of fiddling to sort out and some of the adjustments are close to their limits.

I will go OEM next time. For the money I saved in initial purchase price it wasn't worth it.

Unsure about the D4 but I put aftermarket in my D3 and my aligner had no problem whatsoever getting it right. And he's a mate and knows how picky I am, plus I watched lol

My D3 aftermarket LCA have been no probs either.
