Thread: D4 - a little bit of steering wheel wobble under brakes.

What Eric said, absolutely no doubt.

Milton has got it right!!!

just towed the two ton camper trailer down to Molloy Island for the weekend, everything running straight and true and no more wheel wobble under brakes.
Now for our fishing trip to Exmouth next week, a lazy 3,000km round trip in 10 days

So, mine got so bad that my steering wheel was moving and inch in each direction. I bought discs thinking it was them that are sitting here and then this week I looked under and saw the telltale leak of fluid from my LCA bushes. Since ordered AF KIT630 HD arms with HD Mehle bushes. Discs will be used if required too. Will start with arms.

DJ, you’re gonna need to change your signature to “2020 TDV6 3.0L Discovery 4 HSE” with all the bits replaced recently.

seriously, whilst there, I’d be doing discs anyway. Hope you didn’t get DBAs, mine lasted 60,000km with Bendix HD 4WD pads.

I went with RDA this time. Lord knows.

And yes, lord help me. It’s a damn brand new car at this rate.

Saw a new Defender drive by yesterday. Jealousy!

Bendix HD will shred any rotor.

So took my car back to my mechanic (not the same guy fitted my brake pads and rotor) apparently he have seen the rattle sound from the brake pads before and he mention that even on genuine pads as well . Pad has a little play in them so when u hit a bump with out braking and pad has a small play solution given was either try a set of pads or using high temp silicon bond the pad to the callipers . Well since the pad is brand new I went with second options . Picked up the car couple of hours later noise gone . So it was the pad rattling not my control arm bushes . However he mention that my rear arm bushs is on the way out anyway . Still running original arm since new . 1700000kms now so I may look into arm replacement soon .

Hi all - following this thread with great interest. I have a MY16.5 SDV6 landmark that currently has a slight wobble under brakes, history is as follows:

- 55,000km rear pads replaced at Ritter, rotors deemed fine and told front will be due at next service
- 62,000km approx developed severe wheel wobble at high speed under brakes, classic warped rotor signs so I had the font rotors replaced at my indy garage. Used DBA T2 4x4 Slotted rotors and Bremtec pad after reading thread on here. Braking performance is fine with these ad mayeb a little less dust than standard. Rotors also look good with black coating on hubs.
- At this service I asked them to check the LCA bushes and they said 'they require replacement but not urgent'
- 64,000km slight wobble under braking returned, seems to be more at slow speed, sometimes through the wheel but also felt through chassis / seat
- took it back to the indy who did a test drive and suggested it could be the rear rotors

I have ordered rear rotors, again DBA T2 slotted as they will need doing anyhow but reading this thread probably needs the LCAs done too? Thoughts?

Anyhow I'll get them done and post up the results. The LCA is really disappointing, our disco hasn't missed a beat otherwise and in my view you shouldn't be changing suspension components, in what is meant ti be a heavy duty vehicle, at 60,000km!

Cheers
