David I don't have side steps.

I don't get the noise when turning it's all the time (see video in thread) it also wont make any difference if I have the power on or off, it still makes the heavy knock which suggests to me that it's not drive shaft related. Suppose it could be the wheel bearings but if they have no play or roughness I don't see how they could make this loud knocking.

Does the Range Rover need to have the suspension calibrated after a strut is replaced? Range Rover 4.4 V8 Vogue

I really can't see why the suspension should need to be calibrated.

The height sensor comes of one of the arms, not the strut, so heights should be unaffected.

Not had the liner right out, but cant see anything obviously loose,and have looked A LOT!

Original height sensors used, so no calibration.

And even if the cal was off, one corner may sit a bit squint, but it shouldn't clonk!
