1. Check the geometry specifications.

Refer to: Specifications (204-00 Suspension System - General Information, Specifications).

2. Check the tie rod ends, suspension joints, wheel bearings and wheels and tires for damage, wear and free play.

3. Check and adjust tire pressures.

4. Position the vehicle on a calibrated, level, vehicle lift.

5. Release the vehicle parking brake.

6. Using only four wheel alignment equipment approved by Land Rover, check and adjust the wheel alignment.

Principles of Operation

For a detailed description of the Suspension System and operation, refer to the relevant Description and Operation section of the workshop manual.

Inspection and Verification

WARNING: Before carrying out a road test, make sure the vehicle is safe to do so. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

CAUTION: Diagnosis by substitution from a donor vehicle is NOT acceptable. Substitution of control modules does not guarantee confirmation of a fault and may also cause additional faults in the vehicle being checked and/or the donor vehicle

NOTE: Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic routines involving pinpoint tests.

1. Gather as much information from the driver as possible and verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, as closely as possible reproducing the conditions under which the fault occurs.

2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical damage.

Visual Inspection

• Tire pressures
• Damaged wheels or tires
• Wheel bearing(s)
• Loose or damaged front or rear suspension components
• Loose, damaged or missing suspension fastener(s)
• Worn or damaged suspension bushing(s)
• Loose, worn or damaged steering system components
• Damaged axle components
• Damaged chassis

3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported condition is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the symptom chart.

4. If the cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the Symptom Chart, alternatively check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and refer to the DTC Index.
