Default How to change the front air spring with HD photos (2003 -)

I recently changed the front air spring on a Range Rover and wanted to share the procedure with photos for anyone tackling the job. Any questions or comments to improve please share!

Nice writeup!
Just a FYI. the new Voss fitting stays in he strut. all you need do do is remove the old hardware, then simply insert the air line into the new fitting, making sure it is fully seated.
Cheers

Thanks! I'm not sure I understand what you mean by the new boss fitting stays in the strut. I followed the instructions that come with the strut and it says to take it out... ??

Ok. The fitting itself is called a Voss fitting. You didn't do anything wrong by removing it and installing it on the air line.
On photos #9 and 10 in your write up you will see there is a white plastic plug in the fitting that is in the strut.
All you need to do is remove the plug, and push the air hose into the fitting, it will push in and lock on the ferrull.
