This is only an assumption, but maybe the update of the knuckle corresponds to this molding difference? Or a pure coincidence? |

As we see these knuckles, we even notice differences in models that have the rib on the same side!

Hi all, just seen Cristian and Vera's latest youtube video regarding the cracked hub carrier at the upper balljoint, seems the issue is caused by corrosion between the steel joint and alloy carrier expanding the alloy component. I have just checked my L405 (2019MY) and it seems on my car, after gentle cleaning with fine wire brush, the upper joints are shrouded in aluminium. |

Was watching the latest LR Times youtube vid last night and Christans L405 has both (front) knuckles cracking. He said that he rang the dealer manager and he said he hadnt heard a thing about it from LR England. So he's going to put a submission into there motor authority about it and see what happens. He did say that it will probably be a while before anythings happens in the beaurocracy.

Indeed, I initially thought about this update.

But on the last photo that failed it looks like the sleeve is like ours in gray aluminum?

Hi Rio, i've been trying to find out if the alloy sleeved joint is 2018my onward specific, not having much luck.

It is indeed very complicated to have answers.
