Range Rover Sport L320 Front Air Strut Pair with Fitting

Front Air Strut Pair with Fitting for the Range Rover Sport L320: both front air struts replaced together and the height recalibrated.

Air suspension fails as a system rather than a part. A leaking air spring makes the compressor run longer, the compressor gets hot and wears, and the valve block ends up working against both. Replacing the part that failed last usually means paying for the next one within a year. These packages replace the parts that wear together, and the conversions are offered honestly: coil springs are cheaper to run, lose the height adjustment and the ride quality, and need declaring to your insurer. The Sport L320 sits on the Discovery 3 and 4 frame with the same air suspension, the same transfer box and the same diesel engines.

Fitting

Labour guide: about 4 hours, included. Land Rover changes specification mid production, often by VIN rather than by model year, so send the VIN or the registration with the order and we confirm the part against the build data before anything leaves. It takes two minutes and it is the difference between a part that fits and a return. We are an independent Land Rover specialist and parts supplier. We are not Land Rover or Jaguar Land Rover and are not appointed by them; the model names are their trademarks and are used here to describe fitment. Everything we sell is chosen for vehicles that actually get used: towed with, loaded, driven through water and parked in fields, rather than for the brochure.

Which version to buy

OE Supplier is made by the firm that supplies the factory, in its own box rather than a dealer box. Same part, same line, typically 30 to 40 per cent cheaper than the dealer. Uprated is the revised or heavier duty specification, built for vehicles that are loaded, towed with and taken off road rather than parked outside a school. Genuine Boxed is in the manufacturer's own packaging with the manufacturer's number on it. Worth it for warranty work, lease returns or a car with full dealer history, and not otherwise.
