What puzzle me is the Meyle numbers, they have several numbers for "same" part:
53-16 050 0000/HD and 53-16 050 0001/HD: Range Rover Sport from YOM 2005 onwards
53-16 050 0009/HD and 53-16 050 0010/HD: Land Rover Discovery III
53-16 050 0011/HD and 53-16 050 0012/HD: Land Rover Discovery III
I bought 53-16 050 0009/HD and 53-16 050 0010/HD
there is no mystery, the ending 009 and 010 are the ones that have replaced the 000 and 001 that have been eliminated from the Meyle catalog, the 011 and 012 are for suspension by coil springs, therefore, if your suspension is pneumatic you have chosen correctly !! 👍🏼
I have it so clear, because I am currently in the same process as you, are we then facing another pandemic?
🥴😂 lost in translation!

Damn the original bolts was expensive, these 6 bolts with nuts and washers 220€,
that's almost 200GBP to you guys. The Meyle wishbones was 175€ each.
It would be interesting to order one of each brand to see if they really are from
a different factory and what is the real quality difference. I remember years ago
when I bought a fuel pump for my US pick up and choose a cheap one. It was
AC Delco, but the AC logo had been milled almost completely off. Of course it is
possible that these are rejects from manufacturing.
But I'm so lazy that I rather spend a little more on parts than re-do something.

Got the lower from suspension arms replaced, not really difficult except that one bolt was
seized in bushing (lucky me, only one). The others was like new, and the bolt was jammed
in the bad bushing, had to saw it out. I have a pneumatic hammer, it didn't help.
If you plan to change these arms, be prepared, get these tools:
- Deep 24mm 6-point socket
- Quality metal blades to a battery saw
- Big? 3-arm puller to pull the conical ball joint out. You need to remove the brake disk
and the shield to use this, but it's not a big job
- Raise the car as high as you can on jacks, you need room under the car
A small hydraulic jack is helpful to raise the arm to ride height and to turn the very tight suspension
arm nuts.

Yes, the problem was worn bushings. After replacing these arms, no noise.
Check the net about changing these, one critical step is to tighten the bolts
when suspension components are at ride position.
This mean that before you start, you measure the distance from axle center
to wheel arch. When suspension is aligned, the bolts are tightened when the
distance is same. Othervise the bushings get ”twisted”.

| clong noise while tipping on brakes |

Thank you for the update
Visually I can not see any problem with the bushings - also the German "TÜV" did not complain
I replaced theese arms in my old disco 3 years ago - hard work to do
Fortunately I had the bolts greased when I bought the Disco 4, knowing that one day I have to disassemble everything.
try to make a go pro video of the bushings while braking yust to be 100% sure. But your story seems to match also with my problem
Sad enough

Hi,
here is my update. I changed the lower control arms. Fortunately I had the scews greased when I purchased the car. They went off without any problem. Thus the change took us only 2 hrs - the noise is gone since one arm had a defekt Hydro/rubber bushing.
One thing is woth to mention: I decided for Meyle Parts (better than OEM they claim to be). This part has no hydro bushing in the rear position but a reinforced pure rubber, The car lost significantly in comfort since the ride is quite shaky and bumpy having no comfort bushing any more. 
But this parts will survive the entire carlife, I hope.
