I think he has a D3 with air suspension & the struts/air springs are requiring replacement.

Strut is a more accurate description of the shock absorbers in a D3.

In that cas replace them with Konis or Bilsteins. Cheaper and beter than OEM ones.

:o it's a quick easy job to change the shocks. The air spring is a bit harder.
