Knock, Right Front Suspension
Has anybody experienced lower control arm bushing wear to the point of replacement? I have an '05 LR3 with 70k miles on it. The right front suspension makes a an audible knocking sound if you quickly jab the brake pedal but not to the level of a panic stop. The knock can also be felt through the steering wheel. I suspected a tie rod end but upon further inspection found that the rear lower control arm bushing on the R.F. suspension seems to be the culprit (excessive give/play). I'm curious to hear if this is a fairly common wear item for the LR3. I recently bought the car used. A close inspection of the vehicles underside revealed zero off-road abuse, in fact I don't think this vehicle ever did more than go to the grocery store and back with an occasional trip in the snow. 70k miles in my mind is not high mileage and from my experiences the upper control arm bushings wear out first when these type of bushings do wear out.
Thank you
