Default Best place and price for a new rear airbag?

I just found a leak in my right rear airbag. Can someone direct me to the best, yet price reasonable place to but a new one.

Thanks.

Ouch, well airbags are very pricey, but you might want to check ebay. Its a risk but I have had a lot of good luck with it lately.

I recommend roverrenovations. The Gen II's aren't too bad price wise and you'll be getting a brand new bag with slightly better design.

Roverrenovations was a good place to look, I did however find Arnott on ebay and the price for 2 new Gen II bags is only $240 shipped so I think that is a great price. The bag stays just fine if it in normal or off road mode but when it dips down then it leaks air. Hopefully they are fairly easy to install and should back to normal here very soon.

Thanks for the suggestions.

LOL, did you mean suspension airbags? Wow, I thought you meant SRS for whatever reason.

They're pretty easy to install, a good pair of needle nose plier helps to remove the top retaining pin. You'll need a little patience and a good light to fit the hoses back in the collet.

Arnott makes the best bags and offers a lifetime warranty, just realize, you have to replace them in pairs.

Island 4x4 sell OEM Dunlop bags for approx $80 each or the full set for around $300. I switched my personal vehicle to Arnott gen 3 units and the ride is much firmer and cornering is improved. As was previously mentioned, replace them as a pair or you will likely have handling and ride issues. Regarding removal of the rear upper clevis pin; I find that a stout metal coathanger with a hook bent on one end makes removal a lot easier than using pliers.
