Default 04' Disco rear suspension

so, its going to be coming up soon I am surprised that they made it this far, the body has 76k miles. I was just wondering how much the repairs are going to be, since the only real place that will guarantee their work on this island is land rover honolulu, so those of you on island if you know any good shops shoot me an email. It's the back end she doesn't spring up like she does, nothing for a complete overhaul but being 6 years old it needs to get done.




Stokes, 04 disco "BTL WGN"

The air does not inflate as it should, It works but it takes a min to fully inflate. I don't have to drive it daily so I am going to take it to a shop some time next week. The ride isn't super bouncy as you'd figure in a vehicle that has crappy shocks but I still notice that it takes about 1 min for them to fill back up when I start it.

Do they both drop at once or just one. You are going to burn out your pump driving it like that, when they drop, do you hear air leaking back at the backs or from under the frame and your seat? How many miles on the truck, you probably just need bags and for sure some new Old Man Emu shocks all the way around.

Yeah its mostly the back left but it has been doing it intermittently, again aware of the problem and I use my boyfriend's car for time being. 76k on the body. The sound is like air leaking when it's parked but it only does that sometimes??? When I left for work I just checked it out and it was fine. The other day when I drove it like 3 miles and parked it it "crouched" but after I start it up and wait a min it goes back up. I heard about the old man emu shocks. I think I might go with that, but going back to my female stereotype I am not comfterble installing them myself. We have auto skills centers in the Navy with free use of tools, but I use tools to put up fence not alter something I drive on the highway doing 60. It seems here the only place to get anything done on a land rover is land rover honolulu and I doubt they'd but nothing but legit landrover parts on the BTL WGN.
