| Rear Suspension .....Scary! |
|
I have just had both top rear suspension arms replaced on my 05 plate . The back end when driving now feels all loose and unstable! On a right hand bend ,the traction control light is coming on! Also the HDC fault has started to come back !
Could the new parts be showing problems with wear in the other components of the suspension?
The garage did say there is slight play in rear anti roll bar links? 
It's been a month since it was done ,I don't use it much and I thought it was just bedding back in but the wife drove it the other day and said it felt " bloody awful" , should I take it back? Better to keep quiet and be thought a fool, than open my mouth and prove it !!!!!

Did you have 4 wheel tracking done after doing the work. I find mine needs the tracking spot on.

Having four wheel alignment done after swapping the arms is a must.

Agree.
Rear uppers and/or front lowers replaced and a 4 wheel alignment is required.
I'm surprised a loose feeling is all you have tbh, very surprised you're not having all sorts of suspension and terrain response issues too. Mods:
Front Fogs + Halos
FBH Remote Control
The 1st Ever RRS Modded Grill
Garmin Nuvi + D4 Surround + Reversing Camera.
D4 Steering Wheel.
Rear Boot Spoiler.
Twin Brake Lights.
Wing Mirror Indicator Repeaters.
Long Roof Rails

I'm not scared, I'm outta here.

This is concerning! Should I have been offered this ? It feels fine at speed , doesn't wander, but through any sort of bends feels rubbish ,as though there's no anti roll bars ! A bit like Dads Range Rover Classic that he used to have.....lol !!!!  Better to keep quiet and be thought a fool, than open my mouth and prove it !!!!!

Any garage doing any suspension or steering work should really set alignment afterwards no matter what make by rights.

In my opinion the garage should not have released the vehicle without doing the alignment. It could be dangerous.
I would sort out getting it done, and find another garage to do your future maintenance.

They could have at least advised that it was necessary!  Dave
