bro really appreciate the front bushing videos. You literally saved me 1500 dollars for the four sway bar bushings job. Not to mention the pricing estimate is only from a indy shop not the stealership.
Sooo I was convinced my bushings were shot, cause I kept hearing a metallic rattling. After an hour or so of trying to get that driver's side top bolt off (while listening to Steve Harvey)...I realized if you remove the skid plate, it gives you a better view and another angle to get at it! I mean STILL a 1/4 turn at a time, but the new angle helped me break the nut loose without stripping it. Oh and turns out the bushings looked new...it was the skid plate rattling! SMDH Either way your video got me there!
Haha yeah you don't have to do all of that, you can if you want. Knowing cars the hub stud would break off while taking off the wheel and turn the job into a 6 hour ordeal.
Having searched for the same job on a 2013 RRS with ACE I thought that this would be similar as it's all I could find............no, absolutely not. Three bolts/side all accessed from the top, bear in mind that you can't see most of this and it's just by feel. To gain access on the passenger side (UK) you will need to remove the front propshaft, either partially or completely. Five hours including both seized tie rods, packing away and waffling with the neighbours. Tomorrow I shall tackle the rears if the weather forecast is favourable. Appreciate the video even though it didn't help in my case. I take on board the squeaking (who wants that?) but Polybush state dry fit only and if you are going to lubricate it then with what? Certain lubricants can cause premature failure. Mine will squeak like a dog's chewy toy I'm sure but I'll cross that bridge later.
With ACE is a much more complicated job unfortunately. As far as grease, it's typically silicone or Teflon grease since lithium can eat away at rubber components (and copper grease is anti-seize and isn't for moving parts).
Another video I'm sure I'll need! I hear a loud screech when I turn the steering wheel all the way to one side and move....but based off the limited description of your symptoms, I'm not sure this is the issue.
The roll bar bushings will typically make the most noise when the body rolls (going up and down a parking garage for instance). From a standstill, turning the wheel shouldn't make too much noise if the problem is the roll-bar bushings.
I do believe I'll be doing this soon. But before that (checklist priorities) I need to get at and replace my steering rack actuator...and then my DMTL pump.
@HazyJay, Ive got a 2008 RR Sport HSE. Its the L320, of course and I have been working on it, off and on, for about a year. One thing that I cant pin down in a rattling, almost jingling sound when i go over bumps. My question is: did your vehicle make that sound before you replaced these? I always push it to the back of my to-do list. Next up is the damn power steering pump but i have to try to get these replaced at the same time. I cant pinpoint that sound though. Any advice helps. NICE ROVER BRO!
My car did this when I bought it and it was the lower control arm bushings but that's more of a thunk noise from the front when going over bumps. Small noises are hard to pinpoint, you may be able to reproduce by rocking the suspension yourself from the front and seeing if you can localize the noise.
Good morning, i have a leak for the 2nd time on my anti roll système. I am looking for à conversion to basic sway bar without oil. Do you know à compagnie who sell this kind of conversion kit .? Thank
Is this the reason why my rr sport makes a cracking sound when i turn the wheel. All the way left or right? Mainly when i hit reverse though or when im parked and turn it all the way left or right but not whil it’s on drive.
Without hearing the sound itself, it's tough to be sure, but based on what you've described it sounds like your CV joints. Search "CV joint sound" or "CV joint noise" here on TH-cam and you should be able to confirm whether your vehicle is making the same clicking/cracking. Bad CV joints have a distinct sound.
I did forget to mention it in the video, but I did put lithium grease on the mating surface which can somewhat be seen at 2:27. Ideally I would use silicone paste.
Nice , i use for mutch buchings or other silicone indistrual food transparent grease. It no damage anything and can easy resist to heat temperature and of curse nice 100% water resist. sorry for my bad english @@HazyJay
Another great video. I have a knocking sound only sometime when I go over bumps in the road but only sometimes and never over a speed bump. Any thoughts on what it might be. Thanks
how are the bushings different for the Sport - Supercharged? Can you link what is preferable to purchase for the Sport - Supercharged? Or are you explaining the difference in placement/diagram between the Sport and the Sport Supercharged?
I have a SC and because of the engine and Transmission size its much much more difficult ! I was finally forced to hit a shop because of seized bolts. This is true for the 2010 and up and may not be true for 2009 and down. Good luck if you have fixed them already.
atlantic british has videos for the rear, and it is alot easier than front since all you need to do is just remove the wheels and you can do the job there.
I used the generic Harbor Freight offset wrenches, there is no longer a sticker on the wrenches so I'm not sure. They look like the ones in the amazon link in the description.
and also , why does my sport kinda looses control when i go over bumps or little holes in the highway ? feels like the rear is loose nd everytime i hit a bump it sways or almost feels like its gnna loose control to the right side
That is a little strange, it's hard to tell just from the description but you might benefit from raising the car and hammering on all suspension components with a rubber mallet to see if anything is loose.
@@HazyJay i also have the amber suspension light on , the one that shows the 2 arrows above the car , passenger rear seems a bit taller then driver rear , and when i physically bounce it the tire nearly bounces of the ground , im thinkin that has to do with it maybe ?
@@bassnjeep6537 I would do the procedure from my video called "sagging over night" to see if it's a leak. If there's no leak and it's just VERY bouncy, you might need a new airspring strut
@@HazyJay i have no sagg at all , i did a couple months back but i change out the rear valve and that fixed the problem , now it has slowly had this symptom where it feels very loose from the rear when going over bumps nd like i said rear passenger side off height nd overall makes the rear very spongyy , i can tell when driving through a store center through the speed bumps , front feels nice and smooth and rear really spongy
I did this job a few years ago to resolve clunking, a link to a good video is attached below. Instead of replacing just the two bushings and the ball-joint you can save yourself a lot of turmoil by replacing the entire arm with a new one, if you have a machine press and jaw puller you may be able to get the bushings replaced though. One thing that will slow you down, make sure you have a heavy duty sockets and wrenches and cheater bars, rust penetration spray, and heat. The bolts are tough to remove here. The video below is for LR3 but the LR3 shares the chassis with the RRS for MY 2006-2009 at least. th-cam.com/video/WdVdR1XERyM/w-d-xo.html
Oh and you will need to do a quick alignment after using tape or string so you can drive to land rover and get a proper alignment once the job is done.
@@HazyJay Hazy the compressor still runs when i start up...the warning chime & light occur 1 to 5 minutes after starting to drive, but will not raise to offroad height. Could it be a sensor ?
@@805videogroup5 watch my video on the height sensor, of you see the 4x4 info screen being weird like in that video it's probably a height sensor, otherwise it's likely the compressor 😬
Hello there! I just had inner and outer tie rods replaced and my suspension control arm and ball joint (front and lower) repaired and a left front strut air bad replaced. Now I'm hearing the same noises before I had is fixed, it's not as bad as it was before. I hear it and feel it when I hit the brakes. Also, I hear a noise like there's a pan that's loose...Would you happen to know what those sounds and rattles may be? Thanks!
It's difficult to know since there's a few things that can make noise, but since it's probably not the lower control arms (since you just replaced these) it could be the sway bar bushings. Since it's when you brake the bolts holding something on may be loose (lower control arm bolts, skid plate bolts, etc.). I would lay under the car and have someone rock it side to side by hand and see if you can see what's making the noise.
@@erronwilliams120 no problem good luck, I literally had creaking noise in the front today and I just needed to oil my sway bar bushings again to fix it. Always something, but I figured it out by having someone rock it.
Solid little video with some humour thrown in for good measure. Kudos.

"Mild wear on these old bushings " 🤣👌
Great video. Best one I have seen on this topic. Thanks.
That song. Perfect.
I guess my bottle jack is just a little too awkward to drop it in one go =(
so thankful for your channel men! you rock!
i prefer your tactical approach, not like my garage told my "you must remove fronts wheels and remove front stab bar nuts..."

Wrap One layer of PTFE plumbers tape round the sway bar before putting the new bush on , this stops any squeaking .
I'll have to try that, squeaking is annoying
@@HazyJay It works a treat with any Poly bushes
Could you not grease it instead?
"mild wear"....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣....great video bud...thanx
excellent as usual.....Lower Control Arm Bushings next please ?

wait , how did you get the bushing around the bar ?
There's a cut down the flat portion so you slip it over the bar
nice but you forget to put some grease with PU Bushing
I did forget to mention it in the video, but I did put lithium grease on the mating surface which can somewhat be seen at 2:27. Ideally I would use silicone paste.
Does this mean you can grease the ace bar and the bushing mounting point including the underside of the clamp
Nice , i use for mutch buchings or other silicone indistrual food transparent grease. It no damage anything and can easy resist to heat temperature and of curse nice 100% water resist. sorry for my bad english @@HazyJay
Is there anything else that would cause the clunking noise?
The lower control arm bushings cause a similar noise.

Have you done the rear sway bar bushings?

What brand offset wrench did you use?
I attempted this job last evening. My wrench does not seem to have enough offset.
I used the generic Harbor Freight offset wrenches, there is no longer a sticker on the wrenches so I'm not sure. They look like the ones in the amazon link in the description.
@@HazyJay Thanks for the reply and a great video. I got a set of HF wrenches, maybe I gave up too soon need to try different angles.

What did this end up being?
