Reset tracking today so all track rods were equal lengths. Then remounted steering wheel .Now have to recalibrate steering angle sensor to lose the lights on dash !. |

No I too thought that , but not the case, only started this saga to eradicate a clunking/knocking noise from the O/S/F but to no avail, still present . Seems like a lot of people have had the same thing with no definitive answer ! |

Is it not just a case of going through the battery disconnection - reconnection routine and then doing a lock to lock reset.

Sadly no ! tooka fair bit to centralise the steering wheel .so only a recalibration will suffice . |

Had a run out to a independent today not far from home, got steering angle light and other lights turned off with genuine autologic, as Snap on Solus wouldnt do it or Launch, £20.00........not too bad !. car seems well planted to road and feels taut !. Noise from front end seems to have disappeared too, result !.

I would warn you against fitting Polly bushes , it's OK to stiffen up a Defender the ride is already terrible but on a Range Rover you will totally trash the ride ' kind of defeating the purpose really and the lack of compliance will over stress other suspension parts . 2008 MY Supercharged

I would also advise not to fit polly bushes, OEM from Land Rover will give a much better result.

Can you buy standard ARBs for the L322? I thought they were bonded onto the ARB so you had to buy the whole thing? |

Regarding the clunking- mine used to do that. I replaced the track rod end when it failed the mot and I couldn't get them off so I ended up replacing the track rods as well (following a tip from this forum- far easier to do it this way). I always replace stuff in pairs and so bought 2x track rod ends and 2x track rods, all genuine. Did the offending side to get me through the MOT and I still had the clunking. I then replaced the other side a couple of weeks later and the clunking stopped, so I can only assume that the noise was coming from the latter.
