| Suspension compressor mouning bracket bent. Please HELP |
|
I had a tyre replaced today and the shop jacked my LR4 on the compressor bracket and bent it. The compressor works fine but seems noisy. I need some solid advice to prevent compressor failure.
So my plan is to remove the compressor, straighten the bracket, replace the mounting rubbers and reinstall.
Any pointers

Your tyre people are idiots ! Are they not responsible ? Not sure what D4 brackets are made of, but if alloy like D3, trying to straighten it will probably fracture it, it will likely need replacing, you may be lucky and swap the rubber mountings over if they are undamaged. D3 owned from new, P017 brake recall, BAS FBHIC, new FBH, LR013487 oil pump, new water pump. RRS front lower suspension arms. New suspension compressor/ relay. New Denso alternator. CuNifer rear brake pipes. New GKN rear propshaft. New HPFP belt & tensioner. New A/C Condenser.NO WARRANTY for many many years.

It will break if you try to straighten it, as mentioned above they are cast alloy. They need to replace it, they broke it.
