Are the mod policies much dearer in comparison to what a normal one would cost you? For example - is it costing you 20% due to off-road mods?

There is… Apple can do it all for you. Prolly Android can do the same.

2.2 TD4 in the FL2 👍 Perfect - plenty of grunt

Yes, I remember it too (now you have reminded me!) To be honest, I get most of my stuff from Advanced Factors, which are quite good for their LR parts. I spoke to them today and they’d not heard of any issues with them and will warranty the shaft if I find the replacement solves it. Of course...

Update; Given that I have not touched the hub (appreciate it ‘could’ be damaged), and there is no noticeable wobble when rocking the wheel left/right or up/down, I’m ruling that out at present. Given that I’ve also double-checked the struts and all bolts etc., I’m assuming they are correct. So...

It’s got me, as if it were the driveshaft or the hub, I would have expected the judder/wobble to be felt under all conditions (?), but I’m only getting it on hard acceleration, when the weight is transferred off the front. Once the weight transfer back to normal driving conditions, there is...

Got the go-pro on the n/a wheel this morning. Doesn’t give much away really, other than the new strut ‘looks’ like it’s doing what it should be doing, and I can;t see anything untoward or loose. So pointing towards the new driveshaft being faulty, or hub issue.

The guy doing the alignment mentioned it ‘might’ be that. Another fitter I know (who built the struts up for me) said it was possible, but unlikely - he’d only known of 1 bad shaft out the box. Also possibly the hub. I’m just regrouping my thoughts before making the next plan.

That’s right here… he literally posted in the thread “introduce yourself” 🙄 Hi - welcome to LZ. Plenty of knowledge for you here for your hippo.

Firstly, are you sure it’s the diff? You are going by what the garage tells you - the same one that said it was the brakes first? I’d be getting a second opinion before committing to a diff. Recons can be fine, depending on who/where you are getting it from and ‘how’ it’s been recon’d.

Update; 4 wheel alignment completed 😁 Judder still there 🙄😡 Guys doing the work couldn’t see anything obvious. Have today nipped up the strut clamp bolt (behind the knuckle) and also nipped up the driveshaft nut. Still there. I think the issue is n/s related, as when you turn left and apply...

I did look at the springs before they went in. Seemed to be in the correct seating positions on the struts. Also checked that the tabs on the bearings were lined up with the locator at the bottom of the struts. My thoughts are that the spring kissing the arch just had a twist in it perhaps.

Wheel balancing issues would be present at any speed presumably. Double-checked all bolts as I went 👍

OEM BWI from AF

Ok, so as posted elsewhere, I recently had the f/o/s suspension spring snap. These things happen in colder weather on older cars, and more likely for me as I do a fair bit of off-road driving in it too. I renewed both sides, with complete new struts, springs, bump stops, bearings and top plates...

I’ll double-check them both 👍

It feels like something is not spinning true, if that makes sense? Like a wheel or axle wobble. But it stops, and doesn’t even start if you accelerate slower 🤔 It’s only when accelerating and building speed hard. Weird. It’s got to be linked to the recent work I’ve done - too much coincidence...

In normal driving mode they are pretty much 2WD. The Haldex pushes more when they start to lose traction, or when the terrain response is in a special mode
