    How long do the airsprings / Shock last?

    Hi All,

    On a related airspring matter, how long should they last before the shocker/airspring need replacement?

    I have only done 40,000 km in my disco4, ,mostly off road and on the black top on the way there.

    I thought the rear springs were a bit "bouncy' lately and my mechanic thought so as well when he took it for a drive. Like a deteriorated shocker.

    Maybe it was our imagination.

    Is there a formal way to test it?

    Anyone with early failure of their hairsprings?

    Regards

    GD 4

    There were a few failed shocks on early D4s but otherwise should get somewhere between 70K and around 120K.

    Hi GD 4,
    Mine had done 140k before they were (wrongly) replaced, the problem was the lower control arms not the air spring / shock assy, wrongly diagnosed in my favour for when I purchased, fix the air leak I'm ahead......

    Cheers Marty.

    I'm on 240,000km in my 2008 model L322. AFAIK the air springs are original. The rears at least have the Land Rover name on the air bag. The rear shocks were replaced a couple of years ago.

    No sign of any fine cracking on the folding area of the airbags.
