Default Lux air ride?

Gotta say....I am very pleased with the way my 18 Disco rides.....so glad I got the air suspension. Which brings me to the question...Does the air ride ever wear, like normal shocks??

The air suspension just replaces coilsprings or leave springs. In the rear it is air bags, but in the front it seems to be air bags on the shocks itself.

Long story short the air suspension will probably wear, the compressor, sensors and air bags will likely require replacement at some point, though the bags will probably will last quite a while. Not sure if the front bags need replacement with the shocks, but at least in the rear they are separate components.

I had 130K miles and over 12 years on my LR3 with no trouble with the air bags, shocks, suspension (except worn out A-arm bushings that many LR3's had).

The strut assemblies wear out just like any other strut. So around 100k they are probably ready for replacement

I did nearly 100k miles on my 2010 LR4 with air suspension and never a single issue or part needing replacement.

I have an LR3 as well and I have 131K with original air bags. Just replaced compressor about 1K ago. The ride its pretty great on it stil,l despite the mud tires that are on there.
