After off-roading my freelander the other day, i have noticed that when I turn right, there is a sqeek coming from the front right of the car. Initially when I looked under the wheelarch, i noticed that the pinch bolt on the tracking rod was not in line with the other one so as the rave manual stated, I have lined them up and tightned the pinch bolt to the correct torque. After taking the freelander for a short drive, the same noise was still present. After looking under the car again, I noticed that the Anti-roll bar seems to be further over to the right hand side of the car than the left. I also noticed a rubbing mark on the base of the front right suspension. This looks like it could have been caused by the anti roll bar. Has anyone else experienced this? I have done a search on this fourm about this and found a post ' strange noise on front suspension' that seems to suggest the front wishbone ball joint. I dont think this is the case on my freelander. Can anyone suggest?
 
The ARB should have a blob of weld either side to prevent it sliding to one side or another, These 'blobs' tend to fall off over time and a reasonable bodge is to use a 'Jubilee' clip against a split washer around the ARB just next to the affected ARB rubber mount.
