Thread: SLS Air Spring replacment

No one.......has no one ever replaced an airspring themselves.???

I would have thought a few members would, considering it's a fairly common fault with the Disco II.

have a quick search on The Air Bag Man,,,

or a quick search on the site on air bags---

There are bags 3inch over length available,,

google is your friend---

and fairly common fault???

I dunno,,, I reckon 9 years out of them is not bad,,

much better than running coils for that time!!!!

Gday mate, we have ours booked into MR Automotive on the 30th to have all the air taken out and a heavy duty set of springs fitted, Dwayne at MR has told us to do our first trip away on springs and see how it travels and if needed we can install pollies to help, we tow a 2.5t caravan

they are very easy to replace, jack up the vehicle leave the axle hanging remove the wheel, let the air out of the air bag I loosen the hose connections where the compressor lives, remove the two clips at the top of the air bag use a screwdriver, then undo the air fitting at the top of the airbag the bottom part is also easy just twist it 90 degrees and lift out,

Very basic description but it is easy to do

Thanks Stevo, that's the sort of info I was after.

Pedro, I did search the site, but couldn't find much on how to actually change the air spring.
The Airbag man website has some instructions, but they are for the Rangie....I wasn't sure if the Disco was the same, as I know the air springs are different.

Cheers

Was wondering what others have used as replacements.?
Did you get a LR genuine one or are there better aftermarket ones.?
Where did you get them from.?

Also if anyone has any instructions/tips on how to replace them, that would be great. I'm happy do the work myself...just need to know the easiest way to do it.

Hi,

Check this link the best price I have seen by far

New Discovery Rear Air Spring Assembly. for 1998-2004 Discovery II Series

I am about to buy 1 just to carry as a spare.
Cheers

Cheers Piddler, that is a good price.

The only problem is I need somewhere local, as I need to replace the airspring before next weekend.

The link is great though, as there are illustrated fitting intrustructions.....perfect.
