Had my brakes swapped yesterday and the mechanic noticed my LCA's were making noise when the car came to a stop. I hadn't noticed anything up to that point (not saying it didn't exist), but when he hopped in and did a rolling stop at slow speeds, the sound was much more noticeable. He also pointed out some sway in the CA, but I'm not sure if that's supposed to be there or not.
Since I was in a hurry I couldn't talk shop with him, but does this all sound pretty typical for LR4's? He said he's worked on LR3's before and it's a common problem. Unfortunately I'm not very knowledgeable on control arm / suspension linkage, but I've been trying to educate myself.
Part of me wants to tackle this project/swap on my own since he quoted me roughly $1,400 for brand new control arms. He mentioned something about the new third-party control arms being reinforced (better than OEM?) with a 4 year warranty.
I'll talk to him more when I get back from a trip this weekend, but I figured I'd ask here and see what I could learn in the meantime.
