Hi,
Im near Truckee, CA right now on vacation. I was doing some off roading, nothing super heavy, some decently rough roads. The bottom bellow of the air spring broke right off!! Im kind of at a loss of what to do right now. Reno isnt too far, but not any land rover mechanics near by. Im curious about the Arnott springs. Would I be able to replace just one spring? One spring Arnott and the rest keep OEM for now, os that even possible? Are the Arnotts really better? The bottom that broke, is plastic, Arnotts look like an alloy. Is this something that a normal mechanic, in Truckee can do? Im attaching pics of the bellow part that broke off. Seems like straight forward stuff as far as installation goes, but what about calibrating? Are proprietary tools needed? The rear end is sagging waaaay low. Im getting EAS error. Only way I can take pics right now is with my laptop webcam. So bear with me there, I think it gets the idea across tho. Is it normal for these to break like this? Less than 10k miles on the new springs, and valve block. Previous owner did it just over a year ago. I have the receipt back home. I am most grateful to anyone who can help get this p38 back on the road. Is converting to Arnott really where its at? Could it be done by plain jane shop in Truckee? Do the Arnott spring change any of the function of the suspension, or decrease safety?
Thanks in advance,
Steve
