very bad vibration

Looking for help please.

I'm getting really bad vibration through the whole car when i take slight left hand curves on the motorway at speed. It starts as soon as I apply a very slight left lock on the steering wheel, the whole car starts to shake. As soon as I straighten the wheel it stops. I don't get the problem at normal speeds. It's that bad I have to back off and reduce the speed.

Just had one of the front bushes replaced but the problem is still there.

Sad

Almost certainly the lower control arm needs replaced... Common fault.

I had the control arm replaced 12 months ago when I experienced some minor vibration through the steering wheel on left hand curves. Surely they should last longer than 12 months?

The current problem feels a hell of a lot worse as the whole car shakes.

Ah, ok.... It might be worth getting it checked again. Are your wheel nuts tight? Previously..

Did you use Delphi/LandRover or Britpart?

They probably fitted britpart as they are so much cheaper, and you have just found out why.... they just don't last...

Original or OEM for all suspension parts, it's not worth the saving... Pete

Check also that the torqued up the bushes when the car was on the ground or a 4 post ramp, not on a 2 post ramp, as this can twist the rubber bushes and seriously reduce the lifespan. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

move your tyres around. you will need another jack. put front left on rear right, and vice versa, this should prove if noise moves across car that its wheel related. tyre could be at fault, or buckled rim... the latter esp.. if aftermarket alloys you could also just use one jack and fit spare wheel on both fronts in turn...

The vibration affects the whole car and not any specific area. The wheels are standard land rover Westminster style wheels and in as new condition. Surely if the issue was wheel or tyre related the vibration would be felt even when driving in a straight line. I get no vibration at 3 figure speeds in a straight line.
