Steering Issue

Hi, I'm just after some advice on a steering problem. I have looked through the forum, however i cant find anything which relates to this specific problem.

I have 2013 (63) V6 (AB) had it 3 years with no issues at all. (just 51000 miles) when turning the wheels left and right, it has developed a loud cracking noise. it steers fine, no issues on the road at all.

When manoeuvring, turning left or right, noise appears. When parked, if i got to full left lock, it makes the cracking noise just prior to being at full lock, it's the same on full right lock.

Has anyone experienced similar? It always goes to LR main agent for service.

Any advice would be appreciated. As a key worker it is in daily use, and becoming a concern.

Had the steering issue diagnosed at LR main dealer - requires new steering rack at a cost of just over £3000.00

Had 4 L322 without any issues. Only ever cost service and tyres.

Its certainly going to hurt the pocket. LR did say its rare.

The only possible explanation is a pothole incident earlier this year. It was fine prior to that. Then developed cracking/straining noise which has got progressively worse. ------------------------------------------

i'd be tempted to get a second opinion ...

smacking into a pothole could have damaged a wheel or some suspension part.. ... - .- -.
