13 LR4 with 50k miles now. I replaced the lower control arms with new ones from Atlantic British. I got the supposed upgrade ones with the heavy duty bushes. I was feeling some knocking in the steering wheel on sharp bumps. After that it was still there. The mechanic I took it to said the driver side axle bearing was showing wear. Ok, so I replaced both sides. Still knocking about. Took it to another place who unloaded the suspension and the passenger ball joint had failed in the new LCA. Atlantic British was great and sent a new one straight away at not cost. I replaced both sides anyway. Yeah I know. CRAZY. During this I installed the EVO Corse 18’s and ST Maxx tires. Went on a trip (about 2000 miles) and still have the knocking on sharp bumps, cobblestone and brick road super noticeable and when cornering on the highway and hit a bump the steering wheel just gets so loose and wants to turn hard into the corner. ***.
I’ve got no idea what to try next besides looking at Upper Control Arms.
Anyone have any suggestions how best to diagnose this? Any potential for steering gear related? Saw mention of sway bar bushes?
Anybody else experience similar? And when punching quickly on brakes I don’t get the knock I thought would have been there if the LCA was gone again.
Driving me nuts, any help greatly appreciated.
