Shock absorber

Hi at all

What do you recommend as a shock absorber for my disco 3?
My Bilsteins B6 are tired.
Thank's Thumbs Up

Replace the whole airbag unit unless yours is a coil spring version

Plus 1 ref replacing the entire strut , personally fitted Dunlop’s on mine and see they are around £150 each

When my front left airbag started to leak personally I fitted them as a pair and made a huge difference

Is it just one that’s gone plse, u can of course rebuild them but a lot of hassle plus considering the shock absorber itself would more than likely be worn as well

Hope that helps

Thanks so much at all🙏

I think a makeover won't hurt my old disco😇

I noticed that I have more play on the rear silent block of the lower right triangle compared to the left ... The silent block is not broken .. I changed the lower and upper left and right triangles 6000 kms ago..

Thank's
Philippe
