I've been putting this off for way too long, but my 2017 Patrol has developed this really unsettling thumping noise from the front end every time I go over even the smallest bump, and it's gotten to the point where I'm actually avoiding certain roads because I know the ride is going to be rough and noisy. I've had a few people look at it and they all say different things, one guy said it's the upper control arms, another said it's the strut mounts, and a third told me the whole front suspension needs rebuilding which sounds like a massive job and probably expensive too.

The level of previous opponents can make a significant difference when evaluating recent results.
