Lr3 front noise
Good day, l have just got a LR3 06 and now and again l get a noise like l have a flat tire (front driver side) its a thump sound like the car is going over holes in the road. It will go await when l stop a couple of times and wait. But it really sounds bad, yesterday l was going up a steep hill and turned right and it started again l stopped and put the LR3 up and down and the noise was away.
What would be causing this problem, l am really scared because it sounds like a gear problem because when it starts to thump and the noise is like a flat, but the LR3 still has all its power. Please help l would really appreciate it as l am new to this line.
thanks

Probably a wheel bearing by the sounds of it. Don't know how many miles you have on the clock or whether it has been replaced before - just replaced one of mine on my 07 @ 79K miles and the symptoms were similar. If you can jack up the front driver side wheel and grasp it at 12 and 6 o clock position and can rock it, with any degree of play it's pretty likely the bearing. The replacement is a whole hub which costs about $250 and about an hour labour.
