| Left front lower arm bush broken after less than 5000 km |
|
Hi all,
Back in January this year I've replaced both front lower arms. Last month I've started noticing there was a knocking coming from the front left side every time I was driving the car off road especially when going thru sharp rocks. This has gradually became more and more prominent to the point where it can now be heard/felt at every speed bump or when tapping the brake. Took the car to my mechanic and to my surprise I've been told that the left arm rear bush is once again broken although there's no apparent fluid leakage from it. It's been less than 5000 km since the complete front lower arms (OEM parts from Rimmer bros) have been changed and LR procedure has been followed when mounted.
Has anybody heard of this bush being destroyed after so little time/millage?
Thanks,
Cosmin

All genuine LR spare parts come with 12 months warranty regardless of who fitted them, although the main cause of bushes failing prematurely is because they have been tightened up incorrectly. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
