Rear Strut Replacement. Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4) air bag suspension

Replaced the rear struts on my 2014 Land Rover Discovery 4. Standard air bag with integrated shock absorber.

Many thanks indeed Scott. I'm a very big fan of all your videos and you've inspired me to make this my next job. 170, 000km on the original air suspension with no obvious issues yet but on a km bases alone they've got to be due for replacement.

one suggestion, always put timber, ply on top of any jack or stand, as a heavy machine fitter we never steel upon steel, thanks for vid

[mateostyle]

Thanks for the video. Is there a vid for the fronts?

[Yarxov]

That didn't seem too bad at all except on the wallet. 👍

I ended up doing all our struts and front lower control arms 2 nights before we left before NQ.
The biggest issue I hand was height re calibration

Great vids on your channel! I have a v8 Disco 4 in Canada, picked up the IID tool, haven't had to really diagnose anything yet however I understand you need it or similar or dealer to do the air suspension calibration for the air bags, what have you done for that if anything?

off topic - would you ever get a roo/bull bar for your disco? I'm trying to decide if I should pick up an ARB bumper or do the discrete winch mount like yours, hmmm. Also wish they sold the TD6 in Canada, was driving my cousins all summer in Switzerland, that low torque and fuel economy is something I can only dream of in my 5.0L.

WE just had our start leaking... curious as to what price they run where you are?

Good Vid. How did you know that the rear air spring needed replacing?

Nice vid Scott. One of the complaints about air suspension I have heard from the live axle brigade is that you cant fix it yourself or get it fixed in the outback. This didn’t seem too much different from replacing a traditional coil over. How did you think this would go if you had to do it in less than ideal conditions?

Speaking of shocks for loaded up conditions (higher vehicle weight and off road) Did you consider any other struts such as the Bilstein's 4600 Series Shocks? I am trying to figure out if it is worth going that route. The originals seem to do alright but I do feel like they are under dampened when fully loaded near GVWR.

Hi Scott, would you mind telling me which jack that is?
