I know you have to fit in pairs If it was your own car would you change the rears at the same time |

No, the rears are more durable and last longer, (and cheaper) |

unlike normal steel suspension there is no reason to change air springs in pairs, but i would say it is good practise to do so. obviously if you are going to replace a pair, keep the good one as a spair for a rainy day.

I did mine a few weeks ago. The Delphi strut assemblies I bought had integral dampers (shock absorbers) so I'd suggest you do need to replace them in pairs as their function will have deteriorated over time. If you are going to just replace the bladder then you can probably get away with one. However, my RR had done over 100k miles on it's original struts so I felt it was time to replace. |

I inclined to agree mine also has just over 100k too I might just bite the bullet and get them all done

when mine went i was told for some reason it always seems to be the front offside/drivers side that goes so maybe just replace the one if its the same one thats gone on yours "RANGEISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED"
