Anti roll bar drop links? These give a chattering if you haven't already done then. Cheap and can be done with the car on the ground and wheels on. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Just replaced my callipers and bolts with genuine LR main dealer bolts which stripped at 45ft/lb on two occasions. In differing holes. The cradle holes had been cleaned out prior to refit with a thread cleaner made out of the old bolts by putting a couple of saw cuts in them. They were clean and free running.

OVERTIGHTENED!!! Don’t think so!!! We always torque calliper bolts! I presume the thread in the aluminium calliper has reacted with the steel bolt seizing! and as your mechanic has undone them he has stripped the thread out, blaming it on the “last bloke that did them up” These callipers are changed regularly due to this issue! Your mechanic (if experienced working on RR’s) would know this |

One of the bolts did the same in my old calipers. They had never been off as the car was on its original discs when I changed them, and it felt tight coming out, bought most of the thread with it! was enough left in to re torque a new bolt though.

im a bit confused as brakes and calipers have NEVER been touched by me or anyone till this point? the chattering has got louder and after looking under the wheel the bolt could be pulled out by a sharp pull by his fingers and the thread in caliper was mor eor less gone thats why he coiled a new hole _____________________________________________________
