I've had an add noise over the past few weeks, coming from the rear. I've emptied out the luggage bins removed the tow bar insert.
I had a good look at the shockers. The rear passenger side seems loose. The upper rubber mount allows the upper sleeve to rotate and wobble. I think I need to replace the shockers, both of them.
But what type? The car has coil spring with an inner air bag to adjust the height when towing.
Thanks in advance

Shocks are same if airbags fitted or not.

You'll get good service out of original LR, Bilstein or Konis and if you want to go berserkly good, Koni Raids.

I like the terra firma shocks cheaper then stock LR shocks and in my opinion as good if not better. Another rattle point in the rear are the sway bar drop rods I thought my shocks were cactus changed them still had a nocking noise finished up being the sway bar drop rods put in new bearmac rods noise gone just something I would check if you haven't already.

I'll check the anti sway bay on the weekend. Thanks for the tip.
I'm still waiting for MLR to reply to me request for the cost on the rear shockers.
They don't want my money?
Cheers all

No abnormal movement or noise on the anti sway bar. The suspect shocker is a Pedders Red 9500. SO new shockers for me.
Thanks for all the help and advice.
