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

 

Clunking during stop/starts in the LR3 can be caused by control arms going bad. Im not 100% sure how to inspect them myself but hopefully someone will chime in. Have it inspected by a trusted Rover mechanic rather than letting it keep making a noise it's not supposed to be making.

 

Sounds like control arms to me. If you can get the front end up in the air they're easy to inspect with a prybar
