Anyone had probs with the front suspension mounts??

Took car in this week as was getting a knocking, like loose trim, from behind glovebox.

Phoned today and was told they are replacing suspension mounts???

I had notice cracking noise when making corners. But had notice the noise only appear when stepping on the brake. So check whether does the noise appear when u not stepping on the brake or not.

Had mine done when the same noise as yours,the rubber mount on top of the suspension,i think they replace with a larger unit,yet again more hassle then every-one needs with this car eskdale,my car has been in twice for the same problem

.......why do they remove front wheels and tyres.........?

Maybe they should get a Scandinavian to write the English instructions......

@ Bjartin.

Where did you find this Service Bulletin ? The reason for asking this is that I wonder if there's a list of ALL service Bulletins for the FL2.
I have the impression that LR do not recall cars but only react when the customer complaints which I find unacceptable.

Here we have a very observant Danish "Freel-man".

Thanks Furyan but no, nothing in particular. I'm just a bit anxious that - unless I complain about certain malfunctions - certain upgrades or recalls won't be done during the guarantee period and I wonder if any of those listed issues will be repaired for free once the term of guarantee is expired.

Thanks for the info, collected car today and it is fine now.
