Rear air shock swap

Afternoon all

Tommorow I am going to replace the rear passenger air strut,

Can any one advise if this is a straight forward job and what it entails time wise etc.

Cheers in advance

Straight forward enough.

Undo the air pipe, 1 bolt at the bottom, 3 nuts at the top. Strut comes off. The new strut should come with a new pipe fitting, simply remove the old union, and push the new pipe in.

Before lowering to the ground, start the car, select off-road height, and lower the car slowly. It should fill the airbag as the car goes down Thumbs Up My D3 Build Thread
