Can anyone on here tell me if I am missing a suspension component?
(on the arm located behind the dust/heat shield of the rotor.)

 

No, you are not missing anything. That is there so you can convert it to right hand drive (or, Land Rover could have built it RHD and the other one would be empty.)

 

excellent. thank you for the help and prompt response.

 

Also LH/RH knuckles are interchangeable and so one side has spare fitting not used by application.

good to know. finally getting around to familiarizing myself with this vehicle. i am sure most if not all of you know these vehicles inside and out so i like to ask for help when possible after searching through the archives. sadly i could not find the answer to my question or i searched under the wrong terms. thanks again.

 

X1 ............... got iconoclast panicking though

 

hahaha, indeed it did. i have been brainwashed to the point that the notion that anything and everything odd can be the worst possible situation and then curiosity turns to anxiety until the answer(s) is revealed.

 

I remember that same feeling the first time I looked at the front suspension. I was like "holy crap I should not be driving this thing!"

 

hahaha, you summed it up right there. first thing that popped into my head.
