Thread: Torn Rear Airbag D3

Unless you need new shocks, I would simply replace the outer boot. Remove the strut too clean it if you think any dirt is between the can and air bag. Ok at that point you may detect damage, but I would not be replacing the whole strut on a maybe given the low kilometres.

Yes, it's a feature I particularly like about the L322. Easier to change on side of the road, left and right identical (not CVD). I don't understand why a RRS shock on its own is so expensive. If so replacing the complete assembly is the go.
