Default Suspension height calibration

My 06 LR3 has a leak in driver's side front strut. I'm about to replace with new one.

Will I need to have the suspension calibrated? Atlantic British instructional video says its required, but I don't want to take it to the stealership.

Not unless you have another issue. But I strongly urge you to change both fronts at the same time.

Thanks Abran.

I wasn't sure about the need to do both sides, know it's recommended with traditional shocks.

Does that create issues if only one side is changed on these air strut suspension vehicles?

1- if one went out the other is close behind.

2- The shock portion will be unbalanced as one side is new, other old.

But, won't cause any serious problems.

Thanks Abran.

I also need to replace the rear driveshaft. Atlantic British is out of stock for the gkn driveshaft. Lucky 8 has stock, and its cheaper..only $340. I haven't been able to figure out who makes the lucky 8 driveshaft.

Have guys had good luck with the lucky 8 driveshaft?
