| Took the plunge, our first D4, with a small niggle. |
|
Quick introduction, new D4 owner 2015 SE Tech, 81,000 miles.
Really pleased with it, decent price, got the garage to do the timing belts, new front lower wishbones and new discs and pads all round price to collecting it.
Lovely car, just a small but! ( there always a but with Land Rovers), on travelling over 60mph and up to 75mph it develops a steering wheel wobble, it lasts for approx. 10 secs, then calm for 10 secs, then wobbles again, really strange.
Everything is all good up to 60mph, no vibration under braking, could this be some sort of sensor or software that needs resetting after the suspension work? I initially thought wheel balancing but not sure now after it being intermittent>
Any thoughts greatly appreciated before I contact the dealer.

Could be wheel balancing or wheel alignment but could also be lower arms. I’ve just had a very expensive and frustrating month trying to diagnose the exact same fault and it was down to faulty new lower arms.

I'd go with arms having also been down this route.
If there's no noise, just vibration/wobble then at the mileage you have arms are likely imho.
Enjoy ownership, they're great cars (he said with his fingers crossed behind his back..).. Jim

Tyres bud or warped discs
had both issues resulting in similar wobble you describe.

Thanks for the info folks, think I will start with getting the tyres checked for shape and balanced correctly, maybe even swap a couple out, they are dated May 2019 ( not ancient) but are quite badly cracked, then see how we are from there, I will up date later this week.
Still strange how it is so intermittent though, 10 secs on 10 secs off, but we'll see.

Had something similar- swop your front and rear wheels around see if this makes a difference
