Shake in Steering Wheel When Braking Around 50 - 55mph
It's the front rotors. Had the exact same issue with ours three weeks ago when you hit the brakes around 50mph+. Ours has 74K miles. Had an independent brake shop do the work and put new front rotors. Ran me about $450. But rides fine now. I need to find out more about this steering... -

Steering Rock Assembly and Control Arms
Just having a similar issue with my 2005 LR3. Was having vibration in the front end when braking (from like 50mph down). The tires were needing to be replaced as they were getting loud, so I put some new Bridgestone Alenza's on. Tire dealership did alignment with Hunter Road Force Balancer... -

Normal for new brakes to squeak?
Honestly I think you'll find that "grinding down the build up" will not be the answer to these pads. Even in my RRS forum, everybody complains about the noisy brakes. I've had my stealership tell me the noise will pass on both cars. I've been told to even drive really fast and slam down hard... -

How long do you plan on keeping your LR3?
I figure if we keep ours til our son is through college, like my wife says, that car will be like 16 years old. That will NEVER happen! LOL I keep telling her that in order to achieve this dream goal of her's, she needs to take better care of the car (cleaning it more often, letting me know... -

Reg vs Premium fuel?
My wife was running 87 in the LR3 for a while. Then I went to drive it. :albertein Since it has the same identical engine as my RR Sport I noticed the difference immediately. The LR3 was sluggish and was doing it's own version of knocking. When she admitting to have been using 87 to save a... -

Normal for new brakes to squeak?
Also know that LR OEM brake pads are NOTORIOUS to squeel. Both my LR3 and RR Sport had the same problem after about 12K. It's attributed to all the metal they use in production of the OEM pads. I changed my OEM pads out for ceramic pads on both cars and it's the best thing I ever did in terms... -

noise when turning to the left
I have an idea what it might be. I had a similar issue with my RRS last year. Both the RRS and LR3 are similar cars. There is an additive put into the power steering fluid on these trucks. The power steering fluid is supposed to be a five-year fluid. Since your truck is used, possibly the... -

Need Advice On Purchasing A Used LR3
Had one break job done on my 2005 LR3 at 52K. Breaks were squeeling, which has become a common problem on them. Decided to go with a ceramic pad and what a difference. I know they won't last as long, but no more squeels and no more brake dust! -

Tires for the on-road guy
Nick...Do you notice any increased noise at 20K with your Toyos? This is my wife's LR3 so it hardly goes off road except for the occcasional beach or mountain use. Being in Florida I don't worry much about the snow as much as I do the heavy rain storms we get. The rain here can be every much... -

Problems With the LR3
No there wasn't any recall. I have an early build 2006 and can assure you I went through the same bushing/tire issues mentioned. Went through two sets of tires. I even called LR corporate about it and believe me when I say they weren't offering any new tires despite it being a warranty issue... -

Tires for the on-road guy
Folks New to this site, but not new to my LR3. We have an early build LR3 and a 2006 Range Rover Sport. I came to the site looking for an answer to the tires on the LR3. After having terrible experiences with the stock Goodyears (went through two sets), I went to the Scorpion Zeros. This...
