My 2015 Range Rover has had this top knuckle failure on the passenger side back in June 2021 as I pulled on to my drive way. I had to replace this my self at my expense including a new drive shaft as it pulled out and stripped the spline.

My safety check flagged a red warning, said 'unable to drive' when i was notified of the cracks, but i wouldn't be happy driving it knowing they were there. |

Got mine back today. Both sides changed even though only one 'needed' it.

Not a lot to tie them to with the knuckle being removed, besides, it'd get in the way and / or paint damaged. Doesn't make it right, just explaining why they'd remove the calipers. |

I understood that copper grease isn't suitable for use on aluminium with steel, or is it silver grease that isn't? |

Neither really, I don't know why they'd do that, it's not on the work instruction. |

Dissimilar metals. A non metallic grease would be advisable (ceramic based) but copper grease is much cheaper At least they greased it ![]() |

I have entered a case with NHTSA stating that JLR don't have a safety recall in the USA when they do in the UK and Canada, and have given pictures. I recommend everyone that's had this issue do the same, especially is it actually failed on you.

Marshall would not know the truth if their lives depend upon it. Hopefully you find someone with a conscience. Or better still go to an independent who cares and get the brakes bled. Will save you a world of pain and further issues! |
