I decided to have a go at the tracking myself.
I used the string method, and found the fronts to be well out (as expected) the rear of each front tyre was out too far. So the fronts were both point ... |

Id have thought seized TRE nuts was bread and butter work for a tracking busines and that they would know what to do.

I did this as best as I could. Dropping the front wheels down onto blocks so I could do the final few turns to tighten.

Pretty sure it is just that the tracking is now really far out.
I took it for 4 when alignment this morning, but they failed to do it, due to not being able to undo the lock nuts on the TREs. Afte ... |

The vehicle itself is fairly high mileage.
The 4 struts that I replaced were all replaced at around 175,000 miles - they were all genuine LR parts, so I was presuming original. The back end was ve ... |

They were KYB shocks, I'm guessing from average milage but I'd say about 27-30,000 miles done in them.

It is getting noisier, and can now be heard inside. It does make it a little easier to diagnose though as it now does it when pushing down on the bonnet.
I got my wife to see if she could locate t ... |

All of a sudden the OSF suspension has become squeaky when going over bumps. Spring and shock were replaced about 2 years ago and have done about 20,000 miles since.

The press arrived, quite a quick straight forward job to replace.
Only issue I had is that the middle of the bearing pushed out (you can't drive it out on the outer race edge due to the lip) so I ... |
