Replying to: ssp1 (May 25, 2007 3:31 pm)  28,000 (why they didn't do alignment at that time is beyond me)and now at 34,000 I started hearing some noise again. I took it back to the tire place yesterday and the front alignment was way off. When they were done, I noticed that the vehicle was lowered. They must have accidentally lowered it while sifting through my change for quarters! I made them check the alignment at normal height and indeed the front was out of spec. My advice is to have alignment checked at all 3 levels. The specs are wide enough that if done properly it will vary but remain within spec. It needs to be perfect, like leveling one of those front load washing machines I just bought. Hope this helps

O.K. let's compare some numbers, my 2006 LR3 with orig tires and 25,000 miles had the following before realignment and new set of Michelin 19's put on (oh, and now my low coolant light is on as the temp is near 100F but at least I'm not leaking coolant and the level is fine) : Front left Front right -0.5 Camber(range -1.3 - 0.3) -0.9 3.9 Caster (3.9 - 4.9) 4.1 -.21bad Toe (-0.17 - 0.00) -0.17 Total Front Cross Camber 0.4 (-0.8 - 0.8) Cross Caster -0.1 (-0.8 - 0.8) Total Toe -0.38bad (-0.33 - 0.00) Rear Left Rear Right -1.3 Camber (-1.8 - 0.3) -1.3 0.11 Toe 0.00 - 0.17) -0.13bad Total Rear Total Toe -0.02bad ( 0.00 - 0.33) Thrust Angle 0.12bad (-0.10 - 0.10) Cheers, MC

Replying to: mmac1 (Jun 18, 2007 4:06 pm) I currently own a 2005 LR3 HSE which after a $3K repair (full brake & tire replacement) at 24.5K mi am very dissapointed with both my dealer and LR North America. (Yes, they were the Goodyear factory tires). Went through the Service Manger (did nothing except sit on the issue for 6 weeks)and 'Customer Care' at LRNA... but truly just a waste of time. My story is similar to so many folks here - very appaling to spend ~$60K w/ no recourse even though I know all about the TSBs in October about the alignment/brushing issue and even the one in April '07 with the tire reimbursement brackets. My dealer, whom I foolishly trusted, has been most underhanded and uncooperative. (Won't bore you with the details, because it's all been said before.)  So - I'm planning on replacing my LR3 with something more safe and dependable and which has more than 1 dealer in a 40 mile radius. I've contacted the class action folks, NHTSA, and planning to follow up with the BBB. It is absolutely ridiculious the way LR is treating their customers.
