Struts in Disco 3 vs Disco 2
Hello all,
i'm just wondering if the suspension is the same for the Disco 2 and disco 3.
ie are they interchangeable?
many thanks in advance.

I would have thought they were very different (nothing LR is simple)
Are you talking about a coil srung D3 vs D2?
D2 never used air suspension on the front, only the rear (on ceratin models)

As said before - very different, don't forget the Disco's 1 & 2 used beam axles same as Defenders & RRC, Disco 3/4 is fully independent.Clive

on a D2 with only rear air, it's commonplace to replace the rear air with spring as it only costs about £100ish.

if my memory serves me you could get a 'base' D3 without air (ie with coil springs instead) and no terrain response, so maybe there are LR genuine parts that would work...although why you want would to, i can't imagine?Prince Harry's D3: G4 factory equipped D3 - expo rack, winch, roof lights, ladder, active locking rear diff, RAI, Melville & Moon seat covers, General Grabber ATs/ Goodyear Duratrac
