Video: Air Shock Strut Assembly Replacement On A Rover
VIDEO
Over time, the air strut will dry out and cause minor leaks that will require maintenance to the air suspension system. While we offer the popular coil spring conversion kits for these vehicles, some Rover customers prefer the air ride--one of the reasons they drive a Rover to begin with. Watch Doug, our Land Rover Master Technician, as he explains removing and replacing the front and rear air strut assemblies demonstrated on 2006 Range Rover Sport Supercharged. Additionally, using the Hawkeye Diagnostic Scan Tool, Doug will show you how to access the air suspension system to depressurize/deflate the bags prior to changeover. This replacement service is also similar on the Range Rover Sport or Range Rover Sport Supercharged 2006 - 2009, along with the LR3, 2005 - 2009. Please refer any questions or comments to 1-800-533-2210, or go to live chat.
Removing / Installing Front & Rear Air Strut Assembly Demonstrated on 2006 Range Rover Sport Supercharged and Using a Hawkeye Diagnostics Scan ToolHi I'm Doug your tech representative here at Atlantic British. And in this video we're going show you how to change over the air shock - strut assemblies that you have on the LR3, the Sport, from 2006 to 2009. Or actually even 2005 with the LR3s. As these vehicles are aging these bags are starting to dry out. And they're starting to develop minor leaks. You figure some of them, looking at the 2005, are going on 10 years old. So they're going to require some maintenance, some change over. Now you've probably heard of the coil spring change overs that we have available, and they're very popular, but we have customers that also prefer the air ride. One of the reasons they drive a Land Rover to begin with. So, when you're ready to change over the bags we want to give you an idea of what's going to be involved. So to start with I'm just going to show you some of the tools that I normally use when I'm going to take them off because of the tightness, or lack of space between the top of these units and the body of the vehicle, it's very hard to get a standard ratchet and a socket in there. It's almost impossible.And then from there we'll have to do a calibration now. You cannot do a height calibration using the Hawkeye. What you would need is basically a Land Rover specific analyzer like an Autologic, or would have to be taken to a dealer so they can hook it up to an STD or their current diagnostic tool and make sure the calibration is set right. Once that's done, that should improve the ride greatly on your vehicle. So if you opt and you want to replace the air bag and suspension in your Range Rover Sport, this is also the same application as far as the installation would be for the LR3 and LR4, just call any of our knowledgeable salesmen at 1-800-533-2210. And thanks for watching.
