Hi all o
Does anyone make any aftermarket suspension struts for the Range Rover Sport or the disco 3/4 as looking to replace the struts as they are getting old and starting to show signs wear and starting of leaking a bit but for an 06 is not bad going. Would like a more heave duty as is is going to see a. Lot of ruff roads and off road conditions weekly

Thanks
Kynan

There are different offerings from the online UK shops like Advanced Factors.

Delphi are OEM I believe

Thanks for that I will have a look tonight at them my only concern as I workiwork the after market suspension industry is if they are designed to put up with the harsh condition of northern and north west Queensland as I have seen so many struts and suspension components fail over the years

If you can get hold of a worn-out front and rear D3 or D4 assembly to test fit and if they fit OK then I'd suggest genuine D4 shocks, although the ride height may need to be raised a little (IIDTool?) if the bump-stops are too close.

There is no problem with the toughness of the air bag unit as your 06 attests.
