    Sorry if it appeared inconclusive! Actually I had loud knocking, clunking at offroad height and the front lower control arm ball joints were clearly worn. I don't recall how much sound at onroad height at that time but it was not as bad. Once replaced it was heaps better but I still had a minor occasional knocking at onroad height which was subsequently fixed by tightening the bolts on the newly installed lower control arms. Hope that is clearer now! Regards, David

    Hi David,

    Sorry if you misinterpreted what I meant. I didn't mean your post was inconclusive, that's why I didn't quote you. I meant the outcome of the scenario is inconclusive.

    It appears that good folks on this forum, like myself, have had knocking and rattling since day one and have assumed that to be normal. Others haven't experienced any of those issues/symptoms and are stating so.

    So what is normal is my question....that's all I meant.

    As I said earlier, the car goes in soon for a service so I'll get them to check it out...however, that in itself is a quandary....how do a CBD Dealership test a D4 at off-road height for articulation grumbles....

    Cheers,

    Kev.

    Had mine in off road height for days recently in the desert and no clunking or banging at all.
    The ride is definitely harsher,but that is normal.

    And while in remote areas i seem to listen for any different noises constantly,and noticed nothing,except a loose light in the bulbar,thanks to ARB.

    Update

    My D4 is currently in LR for a service and indeed there is a problem with the suspension/steering....which is what they believe has been causing the noise.

    I'll update further once I pick up the car and get the full story.

    Cheers,

    Kev.

    D4 Back From LR

    Hi All,

    So got the car back yesterday and there was indeed something wrong underneath which LR believe was making the knocking noise.


    I ended up getting these items changed
    • x2 Bush-Arm-Front
    • X2 Bush-Arm-Front (different type $108 as apposed to the $19 previously mentioned ones)
    • X2 Balljoint-Lower
    • X2 Bush-Roll Bar
    There was obviously some other associated nuts, bolts and washers changed during this process.

    This was all covered by my Allianz NEW Extended Warranty.

    I'll find out this weekend if its made any difference, as I'm off to Moreton Island.

    So, for all you good folks stating that you have knocking too....you may have a problem. I'll update after my trip, to see if its made any difference.

    Cheers,

    Kev.
