@Terryjr were you able to solve your issue with new pads and rotors? Would a little grease on moving parts of the calipers be of service, potentially?
Here's the scenario I am faced with...
2013 LR4 w/ 128k miles, mint undercarriage no rust, North Carolina garage kept (until this year)
I am feeling consistent, very minor vibrations while driving. I had a trusted shop in Durham, NC, check it out and they recommended I replace the LCAs at next oil service.
So I didn't wait, pulled the LCAs off today and confirmed the bushings were worn and torn. New LCAs go on tomorrow (fingers crossed they arrive in the AM) with an alignment to follow at the dealer on Monday.
Just this week I was travelling between 60-70mph and it started violently vibrating on the highway. The vibration was followed by a "thud" as if I hit a pothole or something in the road. After the "thud" the violent vibrations would subside and the truck would return to the original, very minor vibrations.
Has anyone experienced this type of issue before? I am hopeful the new LCAs will solve the issues. If not, my guess would be to grease all the brake calipers in hopes they are sticking and can be freed up. If that fails, can anyone recommend for or against replacing the upper control arms and rear control arms?

Thank you!
I believe so. My theory is the parking brake was too tight and occasionally hanging up and creating the vibration. When I would stop on side of road to "fix" it, I think reversing would free the shoes. I changed rear rotors and adjusted the shoes and problem has not returned. Be extremely carefully adjusting the electric parking brake. I almost had to get it towed. The motor has a very short range, adjusting shoes too far out will excede motor limit and it just goes into full lock mode and you go into panic mode. I eventually got it right again but I never want to touch it again.
I took my 2016 LR 4 in after major vibrations on the highway and at lower speeds. It was intermittent but when it shook I was convinced it was a transmission problem because of where I thought the shaking was from. Turns out it was misfiring from the injectors. Would never have guessed that it would cause so much shaking but apparently it’s pretty common.

Thanks for the update. How did they/you figure out it was actually the injectors? How many? Where they replaced?
Thanks
Hi all: Looking for help with my 2013 LR4 HSE (107k miles on the car). For a few months now I get random vehicle vibration. I have seen posts with similar issues but few confirmed solutions. Here's what happens; while it has occurred at all speeds, it usually happens after I start out and I feel it around 20-30 mph. It could happen 3 days in a row and then not again for a week. It could happen when I first start out...I get it to stop and then I could drive 100 miles without it occurring. The vehicle starts vibrating - the faster I go, the more intense the vibration. If I shift to neutral, no change...the vibration continues. Two things make it go away: either come to a stop and restart or slow down and make a few turns (like in a parking lot, turning onto a side street, etc.). The front end parts are all either new or confirmed good. I have new tires and perfect alignment. The drive shaft was even recently replaced as a potential cause. 2 additional clues: my "suspension fault" light recently went on and when my mechanic checked it he says there were "a ton of codes" that he cleared...but not being a Land Rover dealer he didn't know what they all were. I saw one post where someone thought the cause was the electronic e-brake. Another car enthusiast I know thought maybe suspension system sensors could be the cause. Has anyone had this same issue and found the definitive cause/solution? Thanks
Mine has 100k and I believe it's the brake mine shakes so bad I almost have to stop but seems to go away as fast as it came sometimes in 1 mile but is a recurring problem
Hard to troubleshoot as it never does it when I get to mechanic
Has anybody tried flushing the transmission? There are more than a few threads on here that discuss the vibration issues being related to old fluid preventing the trans from locking up.
I’ve had that weird experience at 50-60 mph, feels like tires out of balance, stop the car and it goes away.
I flushed out the fluid 3 times, being unable to drain the torque converter. Problem solved. You won’t get any codes from the GapIID tool.

yes i change mine every 50k miles so its only been in the car for 15k. Cant see how tranny fluid wld make the car feel like its missing a couple cylinders
ok this happened again last night around 70 MPH. goes way as i slow down, comes back as i increase speed. turned the car off on the shoulder, turned it right back on and all is good. i never use my ebrake. has to be something electronic that gets reset with the reset.
