    This lot are in a mushroom farm. Busy little workshop. They found only one of these rose joints faulty saying it was "totally shot". So he changed that. I was told by previous young fellamelad that one of the front control arms was loose too accounting for NSF occasional clunk. So they...

    I'll give mine an accolade in here when I know that they've done a good job for me at a fair price ...But you can't do that. I've already been on remand with house arrest for a year, my court case comes up in a few weeks... Yeawowwww! Don't do that, it stings! You'll get more than a little...

    I've decided to take it back to mine (12 miles away in slow-stop traffic) on the Wednesday night and dependent on how I experience any lurch decide then whether to drive it to Chertsey. Mostly its just a minor tramline effect which is why originally I mistook it for tramlining like as if in a...

    45 around M25 -- this transporter's base is Staines so serves that workshop on regular basis

    Think I will as it'd need hoist for that sort of job. Have just heard it's £180 to transport :oops: Might just trundle around to Chertsey and pray the lurch (mech didn't get one driving back from MOT tester) doesn't throw me into a barrier

    Spoke with another workshop in Chertsey who knew exactly what I'm on about. Which is strange coz I don't :confused: Like you insisted on using only OEM bushes, but better quoted me 2½ hours-ish per side.

    That accounts for why I'm confused then. Doesn't take much Good stuff. Thought initally that they were the actual one in each corner of the sub-frame until referred back to the rear hubs' ones. Non-OEM they're £20.35 for each pair of RHF000260 and LR032644 ex N4S in Barking. Waiting on...

    I guess you mean the one with the pencil pointing to it is the "Rose Joint"? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/range-rover-L322-rear-hub-bush-upper-L322-upper-rose-joint-bush-kit-rhf000260k-/254116306451 Two eBay sellers refer to RHF000260 as the "Rose Joint".

    Thanks for replying! Will eventually have a good car out of all this (he said). Top and bottom front control arms both have been changed with complete arms. That's made this "Rose Joint" issue at the rear give a more pronounced effect of lurch

    Thanks to "myfirstL322" and "kds" for their replies. Does the sub-frame have to come out to change them? Do you know anyone that'd do mine? Where are you?

    Spoke with mech who said strut bearings were OK. There's very slight movement at the bottom of RH anti-roll bar link but otherwise, now that the control arms are far more rigid with new components, the front end of suspension's fine. But he did say that there's some movement in the rear...

    Yes, drove to Hemel Hempstead and back on what was in the LPG tank and found that the temperature needle didn't move hardly at all with the new coolant gasket installed. Very impressed. Here's a pic of the old gasket barrier as removed: Note how badly deformed this rubber barrier is. It's...

    Clicking low or high? What do you mean? Position or tone of the click? Seems to come from (as heard at the driver's position) very front end sort of nearside but inboard a bit. Tone is a "click" rather than a "thump". I've done lock to lock and nothing sounds -- no clunks nor clicks. Mech...

    Will see what Mech has found -- he's insistant now that he's experienced it that he will find the fault MOT's just been done and no sub-frame - engine cradle rust noted. Although, of course that's no guarantee. Have suggested that after the bottom control arms were changed the then shop re-did...

    Have had the uppers (rear) both control arms changed now and the tramlining and the occasional cardiac-stopping lurch is even worse now. Mech took it to a kerb, put OSR wheel flat to the curb's side and moved the steering and found that the steering could still be moved about an ⅛ of a turn...

    See the Range Rover L322 being put through its paces on Fifth Gear (series 28 ep 2) broadcast last night? Marvel at how Vikki Butler Henderson actually got it started without having the steering column IMMO being rebuilt by BBA Reman. Gasp at how there's no <tick, tick, tick> on tickover due...
