Air suspension on land rovers is often considered complicated and frightening, but in this video I show you exactly how easy it is to swap your air suspension front struts yourself with pretty standard tooling.

There are other videos kicking about on the tube, but I show you here all of the tips and tricks that others miss out (as well as all the pitfalls you might come across doing the job yourself).

You will need:
Tools:
½” or ¾” 22mm short series socket (& spanner)
½” or ¾” 18mm short series socket (& spanner)

12mm spanner
T25 Male Torx bit
⅜” 16mm deep series socket (or short series & short extension)
½” or ¾” Impact gun
⅜” ratchet
2 or 4″ ½” extension

Torque Specs.:
Bottom strut nuts: 184lbs.ft.
Anti-roll (sway) bar link: 74lbs.ft
Top strut nuts: 41lbs.ft
