    Never Thought To Ask

    Hi All,

    I've had my D4 for 3+ years now and I've only just asked this question...

    When you have a D4 in Off-road height, is it normal to get a bit of clunking and knocking through the steering and suspension when in rough conditions?

    Mine has always done it since new but I've never thought to ask if its normal...

    Cheers,

    Kev.

    Yes, at first it can be quite off putting.
    You could think that your suspension bushes where stuffed!
    Quite different to a coil sprung vehicle.

    If you get clunks & bangs on road though get them checked out.
    Also the Anti Roll Bar bushes are quite often at fault for such noises.

    I don't recall the D3 or D4 doing that in off road height. HDC does introduce a lot of drama and low range is a lot noisier of course..

    Mine did that when the control arm bushes were on the way out, definitely more pronounced in off road height on a lumpy road.

    I don't recall any difference, but will now listen more intently.

    I had the same experience at 48,000km and it was the ball joints in the front lower control arms- both lower control arms replaced under warranty fortunately. Soon afterwards I noticed a knocking sound when entering/leaving my driveway at normal height. My LR dealer couldn't find cause so I took it to my independent LR service guy who found lower control arm bolts not torqued correctly- has been fine since then. David

    Right....well that was inconclusive....

    I'm not certain if it's always there, as in TR selection, but I think it is. Most of the time I'm in Sand Mode....but it just feels like play.....but always figured it was just due to the fact that the car is on tippy toes.

    It's absolutely fine on the road at normal height.

    It's going in for a service in a couple of weeks so I'll get it looked at just in case. I like having some facts before I present a possible issue though.

    Cheers,

    Kev.
