| Anyone carried out the steering knock TSB? |
|
Has anyone carried out the repairs necessary to remove the annoying steering knock as per below?
If so I'd be interested to know how difficult it is to get the steering component out and replaced.
Models: LA - Discovery 3
LS - Range Rover Sport
Title: FAQ 22241 - Steering light knock over bumps.
Engineer Name: Townsend, Ken
Last Modified: 24-APR-06
Category: Chassis
Symptom: 303000 Steering/Handling
Content: User will report light knock over bumps. Some will show slight free play in steering.
Cause is LOWER steering shaft (Under bonnet) NOT the steering rack.
With vehicle static engine off check for free play in steering aprox +/- 3 degrees, with gentle input.
Also some vehicles may exhibit a light knock on uneven surfaces between 10 to 15 mph.
If the shaft is the cause please use new part number QMN500240 (RHD) or QMN500250 (LHD) to repair as this has improved characteristics for noise. Part was introduced to production at L319 - LA390436
L320 - LS956379. If shaft does not resolve knocking noise please submit an EPQR and contact dealer technical support. _____________

My 98 Disco 300tdi feels better in handling off-road then the Disco 3.....

Not too bad a job, to replace the lower arm takes about 20 mins once the wheels off, the upper one takes a bit longer as the upper rubber gaiter is a  to get back in properly don't forget to get new bolts and a new nut
