LRNA no longer covering bushings under warranty?

use anti seize too. your alignment guy will thank you.

when re-fitting the lower front control arm bolts be sure to insert them in from the front. The eccentric washer likes to spin/strip on the bolt threaded area. If inserted from the front the bolt is the cam adjustment. makes alignment a breeze.

All:

Haven't had chance to look at my warranty. So LR4 parts are a direct (but better) replacement? Where do I get polybushes?

Thanks,

Paul.

Update:

They fixed the inner tie rods under warranty.

Truck feels tighter, but the steering wheel still jumps at full lock backing out of the driveway.

Thoughts?

Paul.

I wonder what policy you have , I also wonder why they were not covered . Look at the contract like Kyle said . Then I wonder what your dealer reported as the failure . If they said that the bolts were rusted or seized in the bushing then they goofed up . Nobody covers corosion . Broken needs to be called seperated , worn is loose .

Land Rover's new "Select Certified Pre-Owned" warranty does not cover these bushings. The contract states that the only bushings that are covered are "non-serviceable" bushings. Since the lower control arm bushings are available separately, they are "serviceable" and they do not cover them. This is a change over Land Rover's prior "Assured" wararnty that was administered by APCO.

Just had the rear control arm and sway bar bushes replaced under warranty.

Hmmm..... do the rear control arm bushing go bad too? I've got a ton of miles on my LR3 and I was thinking I needed new shocks/springs.... maybe I need to check other stuff first.
