I have a freelander 2 right hand drive and there is a mysterious (annoying) rattling / knocking sound on the right hand side of the car.
The sound mostly comes from slight bumps etc and when the car is going straight. Seen a few local indies in town and the one said it might be the steering rack.
Below is a video of the sound. Sorry its a tad long but wanted to show the full extent of when it occurs.
Minute 1:30 thereabouts its quite clear.

The car has a fair amount of milage, approximately 260 000km so understandable steering rack could need a tune up.
So far on the front the control arms (balljoint & bushings), shocks with upper bushings (not plates), stabilizer links, tie rod ends have been replaced.

One thing I thought the sound could be is top mount plates of the shocks.
Be grateful for any input.

Drop links maybe

Excuse my ignorance. Are drop links the bar that connects the strut to the anti role bar? The manual calls them stabilizer links. If so ive done those which i initially thought would solve the problem

To me it does sound like the Drop Links (Stabiliser), that annoying rattling is what I experienced in a previous car.

But as you have had that done, am sure the noise is not far away in the suspension. It sounds like its in the bushing or springs attached to the vehicle main structure. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)

I would get the car on ramps and have it checked over

It is definitely front right hand side

Brocken Spring , could be, they can maka lot of noise.

By spring do you mean the coil that covers the damper

Yes, the front strut spring. we had one break off at the bottom three inches, the broken part lay under the spring, One has to jack the car up, remove the wheel, and look carefully, the broken edges can be quite sharp too. Use a torch and small mirror. Check the top, and both sides of the car. A seized top strut bearing can fatique the spring, and lead to breaks. We had a long term VW Polo that was always breaking front springs. I suggest if broken, you buy the original spec springs, which vary on different models, according to the workshop manual. Left and right usully have different spring rates on many Landrovers. We have three Freeladets, they all drive differently, and my latest 2013 SD4 XS drives similar to a Discovery TD5. Strange! Remember that one needs a big spring compressor too, a shop job.
