It’s the protective outer bag just there to help stop getting debris onto the actual air bag, you can buy just that part and then it’s simple enough to replace I thing someone has already posted pics of them doing itRange Rover Westminster 4.4 TDV8 what a car

thanks for your information
Will try to search on forum, but if you could give me a keyword that would be much appreciated
Hi mate eBay part no eBay Item No. 261351910852 AF also do them but more expensive some have just cut the old one off and had no issues, do a search on google but this is what I found, if you had access to an iid tool you can de pressurise the air bags making things much easier, also remember the bolt holding the strut to the lower arm must be tightened when the centre of the hub but is 485mm form the wheel arch.
I suggust you use extreme caution while working with Air Suspension in your driveway.
1) set vehicle to low profile ride height.
2) disconnect battery to suspend ride height adjustment
3) loosen rear wheel and jack up vehicle from strut perch until wheel is off the ground.
4) positon jack stand under frame on jacked corner. remove rear wheel.
5) loosen lower strut bolt. lower jack under strut perch to fully extentd strut, remove strut bolt. you may need to jack up or pry down the lower control control arm to slide bolt out.
6) remove old boot.
7) install new boot and clamp. you may not be able to fit the boot and clamp easily with the strut fully extended.
8) pry or jack lower arm and refit lower strut bolt.
9) jack under lower control arm at the strut perch to compress the strut to low profile or close enough to fit strut boot.
10) fit new boot and secure clamp.
11) install rear wheel, remove jack stand, lower rear corner, and tighten wheel
12) reconnect battery
As stated above I copied this from another forum hope it helpsRange Rover Westminster 4.4 TDV8 what a car
