What's the procedure for jacking up a lr4 i would like to do the maintenance myself on it like brakes, tire rotation and the propshaft but scared incase i bugger up the air suspension settings because it takes a hissy fit when done wrong. Thanks
It’s not difficult, but it’s a big heavy car with a lot of ground clearance, and when you jack it up, it (unhelpfully) thinks it’s off road and it tries to keep the wheels on the ground by lowering them even more. The best thing to do is take out the air suspension fuse which stops this happening. Get yourself a 3 tonne jack and jack stands (I got mine from Clarke) choose a jack with over 520mm of lift and get pumping! These cars are not difficult to work on. Brakes are easy peasy, like most modern cars. There’s a technique to adjusting the rear brake shoes, again plenty of videos on UA-cam about those. As long as you jack up on the frame rails or the front crossbeam, it’s easy to get the jack stands in there. Good luck!
@@Himoutdoorswas it when you hit the brakes the wobble or just normal driving? I have an LR4 and around 50mph I gently hit brakes and steering wheel shakes. All new rotors and calipers. And pads.
@stevem2266 some people find that this is caused by worn front arm bushings. Check the front lower arms, and if bushings are worn replace them. Good luck.
Thank you. Was there any noise associated with this when the center bearing was failing?
No noise but very noticeable vibration. I know some do start knocking. It depends how worn out the rubber bush is and how notchy the universal joint.

How has your new prop performed? Any issues?
All good, the speed wobble has gone.
And there I was blaming the tyre fitter for not balancing the wheel properly….😬
