    Dull thud from the rear

    Gents,

    This week I had the rear brakes (pads and rotors) done on the D4. Since then I can hear a dull thud coming from the rear when I hit a bump.

    I took it back to the workshop this morning; as the car was going up on the hoist I noticed the spare was hanging loose. On further inspection we found the winding assembly was not pulling the wheel all the way up and so we blamed the thud on this issue. This will be a warranty repair.

    Having taken the spare off the car (before it falls off) I went for a drive and sure enough, the thudding is still there. Any ideas, asks the mechanical dunce?

    HI WhiteD3,
    Thee are some balance weight "things" at the back in the corners, maybe.... Apart from that check all the usual things, bushes, chassis connections, I'm assuming nothing was disturbed in the back that is now rocking around in the spaces in the rear corners. Trying to imagine what else would be disturbed when just doing the pads and rotors........ interesting.

    Tow hitch isn't loose is it?

    You mean it's balls! I guess you have the masculine version if you have noticed its balls. ;-)

    There goes my idea, I was just wondering if you remembered to bury the last body and suggest you check the cargo area, but your photo does seem to show a discrepancy.

    Hi WhiteD3,
    Silly me, I assumed that all the bolts had been put back in as part of the rotor and pad replacement............as I said, interesting!!!!

    Oh, so you think that the calipers should be bolted back in after changing pads and rotors do you?

    Nah, it'll never catch on.

    Think I'd be having a serious go at whoever you had do the brakes on the vehicle.

    That's pretty ordinary ............
    Cheers .........

    You just have to wonder how many LR "reliability" issues are due to this kind of "servicing".

    That is unbelievable!
    Cheers,
