Land Rover & Range Rover Air Suspension Repair Guide
Most Land Rovers ride on air springs or air struts fed by a compressor and a valve block. The rubber ages and leaks, the SUV drops after parking, and the compressor wears out working to keep up. Finding every leak, replacing what is leaking and recalibrating ride height restores the factory ride.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I replace air springs in pairs?
Usually per axle. Both sides are the same age, and replacing them together keeps the SUV level and avoids a second visit when the other side fails.
Will a leak damage the compressor?
Yes, over time. The compressor runs far longer than designed to make up for the leak and can overheat or wear out, turning a spring job into a spring-and-compressor job. Fix leaks early.
Can I convert my Range Rover to coil springs?
Conversion kits exist, but they change the ride, disable height modes and can set warnings. Most owners who bought the SUV for its ride choose new air components.
