Range Rover Sport (LS) V8-4.2L SC (2006)
The revision to the time in this bulletin is the result of the introduction of the new IDS "tight tolerance" geometry setting mode for suspension
adjustments. This simple IDS process replaces and eliminates the requirement to perform a suspension calibration (1.1 hrs) in association with the
alignment process. Refer to Technical Bulletin LS204-O10 for additional information about the geometry setting mode.
DDW requires the use of causal part numbers.
Labor only claims must show the causal part number with a quantity of zero.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
ALIGN SUSPENSION GEOMETRY
1.
Refer to Technical Bulletin LS204-O10, connect IDS to the vehicle and place the Electronic Air Suspension (EAS), into "tight tolerance"
geometry setting mode.
NOTE:
Vehicles that have any of the front or rear, upper or lower control arm bushings changed must complete a ten mile road test before having the
geometry checked and adjusted if necessary. The road test will allow the suspension to settle.
NOTE:
GTR lookup sequence is as follows:
GTR Home> NAS > Service Information/ LS - Range Rover Sport > Workshop Manuals> Bookmark "Chassis/Suspension/204-00:
Suspension System - General Information" link "Four - Wheel Alignment (57.65.04)"
CAUTION:
GTR identifies an alignment specification range.
The exact "TARGET SPECIFICATION" in the table shown should be used on vehicles that have experienced uneven tire wear.
When setting suspension geometry after front or rear/upper or lower control arm bushing replacement, the rear toe should be set to the TARGET
SPECIFICATION in the table.
2.
Refer to GTR section 204-00 Four-Wheel Alignment operation 57.65.04 and adjust the front and rear wheel alignment to the TARGET
specification figures noted in the table.
