The guys at landranger are 100% sure it is the wishbone after looking at it.  Ref doing both, they checked the other and it was fine, at £300+ each side, for now it has to wait........ If it was a sports car then I'd agree that the handling may be impaired, a big heavy RRS.. If I'm honest, they handle pretty bad anyway (no dynamic pack on mine).

I have bought a pair but not done the job as yet, looks like the wishbone might have to be removed and the joint removed and new fitted in a press, so there is a labour charge to consider but should work out less than a new wishbone, hopes this helps | ||

| Mixy Member Since: 20 Feb 2012 Location: Cheadle Posts: 39      | Okay, now I'm thinking.... This is the plan, call landranger and check their diagnosis armed with the thoughts above. I am 99% sure they are right. They don't seem like an outfit that over charges. Had it been a LR dealer, I would be more concerned. I work in the motor trade and these days dealers just seem to replace parts until the problem goes a way..... Especially if the computer says no.... | ||
