All:

Have you heard about this? Sounds like pretty poor service to me- bushings are NOT supposed to fail after 60k miles.

Mine are shot & I plan to take the rig into have it fixed in a couple of weeks.

I plan to fight this.

YMMV.

Paul.

If you have 60K miles you have no factory warranty covering your vehicle anymore (unless you purchased an extended warranty, which may or may not cover bushings and other wear and tear parts, depending on the type of policy you purchased.) AFAIK, LRNA's factory warranty is still 4 year or 50K miles whichever occurs first, no?

The plan I have covers "bushings", which is not the factory plan. If you want additional coverage, you might want to look into it. My though was the cost of the plan compared to the cost of future parts and labor.

From my other LR's, I just wanted a piece of mind this time around.

what warranty do you have and why are they denying it?

factory ends at 50k/4years. there is NO factory extended warranty unless you bought a lemmon buyback that had the repairs done and the factory warranty extended. there are a couple of other cases that I know of that had it extended for other reasons, but the run of the mill everyday extended warranty is a third party. APCO is/was the best and the new ones are denying claims sometimes now. AND it all depends on the dealer, their relationship to land rover and their relationship to the warranty companies AND how they approach the situation.

IMO talking to land rover will be a complete waste of time unless you own like 6 trucks and have been a customer since the 70's. its not the same anymore. But you can try and report back.

the new style bushings are supposed to be better.

All:

I have a factory extended. Or at least, that's what they told me when I bought it from the LR dealership.

Also interested in a link to the newer style bushings.

Thanks,

Paul.

who underwrites it? look at the contract. LR does not do extended factory warranties unless it is a special case. they are all aftermarket underwriters such as APCO. they might list it that way if the truck was a CPO.

the new bushings are what they sell now. IIRC the same P/N as LR4.

if i remember correctly Lucky8 may be able to send you a set of front lower control arms with polybushes already installed, for a core deposit on your control arms. just make sure you order new bolts and have a good amount of sawzall blades ready.
