Hi,

After installing the upper air strut assembly, my steering is offset to the right, back to dealer for alignment, now offset to the left. When centring the steering wheel, she drags to the right. Dealer advised to change the lower control arms because of a steering arm bush crack? ...Big girl is so hungry... :mrgreen:

Can someone please advise on this? part numbers? and aprrox man hours? Pictures?
Apologies if this has been posted previously? Please share any links.

While i'm at it, should I replace other suspension parts? Don't want to pay a large amount in one go, would rather leverage? But if its urgent I will do so...

Want to finish this tomorrow urgently, so much to do, so little time :censored:
Attached is what have for now..

Thanks all.

I'd change everything in one go and get a Toyota.

, i think ill pass...and pull a sneaky civic...

Dealer advised part number LRRBX000070 LOWER ARM SUSPE
I'm getting different numbers? Is it a straight forward replacement?
Shall I do both sides? Thanks..

Ok, your part number is bollox I'm sorry to say, you need to knock off the LR at the beginning and do a search on Google to see its a bush.
You need at least two things to survive Range Rover ownership
The first is a rave manual but that may not cover you for 2008 and the second, if you want to find part numbers I would look at the link below. The site takes a bit of getting used to but it will list every part available for your vehicle
It's an online version of microcat that landrover use to find part numbers.
My third would be diagnostics
You could have a search for my thread regarding CV joint / drive shaft as this shows the replacement of all the front suspension parts.
If you search this site and the many others you will find the answer to all your questions but have a look at the following link and be patient as its not over user friendly but it's worth your time

Microcat - Spare parts Land Rover catalogue in English

Regarding suspension and brakes, what you do to one side you should do to the other

brilliant, thank you sir.

Parts Purchased: Delphi front lower arms £55 x 2
Man Hours: £26 to install both.
Also purchased upper bush £20 x 2 and upper ball joints £15 x 2
Pics attached. Hope she rides smooth after install; for the short term

Good effort, Land Rovers have an amazing amount of information available on how to fix and what to buy , probably because they go wrong so often, it is just a learning curve of where to look.
Google is your best friend and searching sites like this as if it's happening to you it's almost definitely happened to somebody else and we like to share information as its group therapy !

Agreed sir..
I tell my better half about google everyday...:googleit:

Delphi know there stuff, loving the drive, very smooth but firm and even more friendly over the bumps.. I like to get my moneys worth so drive over bumps nice and easy .She likes the uneven road surfaces and the steering feels slightly more responsive, no more loose feeling on the steering as well or that light wobbly feeling..... Haven't done the alignment yet but seems almost corrected and much less pull..However will take her in in a couple days for alignment..Forward on with group therapy..thanks all!
