I had both front shocks on my 2018 D5 TD6 fail and need to be replaced (100k miles on the odometer). That airbags on the shocks work fine and did not fail, however the internal monotubes failed. Obviously I have to replace the whole combined unit.

Anyone know of a good source for aftermarket or low mileage salvage?

I can't afford to pay for new OEM units and there doesn't seem to be any good aftermarket options for the D5 that I can find.

I decided to go ahead and replace the rear shocks (not the separate air bags) while I'm at it, so I'm looking for those as well.

It's crazy how little there is out there for the D5 even after 5 years of production.

Any tips on how to find some replacements would be greatly appreciated.

 

Try Arnott, I have had good luck with there products.

They were one of the first outfits I contacted. The do not make anything for the D5 so they referred me to their sister company, Strutmasters, who also does not make anything for the D5.

 

Check if they are the same on the Range Rover sport. Might give you some more options if they are.

 

Can you give some detail of symptoms the vehicle was exhibiting to lead you to think there was a problem and how the failure was ultimately diagnosed?

Just bought some other random crap from Land Leaping. Seems legit.

 

Extreme body roll, diving into corners. Extreme nose dive when braking and unsettled when hitting bumps, dips.
Finally found a wrecked donor D5 with 13k and took all four shocks.
Installing next week.
