I hear a "clunk" noise up front when the car goes over medium to large bumps on the road. Based on my research, I think it is a worn front sway bar bushing. The car handles the same and the alignment is still perfect. I am having trouble finding the exact part number.

Could you all please help me with a replacement part (OEM or equivalent or superior part) and any instructions on how to change?

Thank you for your help.

 

Confirm the diagnosis prior to replacing any parts. Disconnect the links and drive the vehicle over the bumps you mentioned to see if the noise disappears. If so, replace the bushes and links.

The front anti-roll bar front bushes have JLR part number C2D5793. The front anti-roll bar links have JLR part number C2D24220.

Great idea - thank you.

 

FYI. Powerflex USA sells polyurethane bushings that will last a lifetime. The unfortunate downside is they often squeak if they are aren’t lubed well with a viscous grease.

And a little on the firm side compared to the OE bushings, not that the OE ones are what most would consider "cushy".
But I consider the added life of them to be well worth it since the X351 isn't the softest riding luxury sedan; more performance - oriented.

 

Here are pictures of the top of the struts. The rubber piece doesn't look worn. What do you think?

 

js,

The orange granules that are collecting on top of the shock mounts are a tell tale sign that they are on the way out.

As an aside, your coolant is low.
