Freelander 2 suspension questions

Does my Land Rover have air suspension or coil springs?

Discovery 3, Discovery 4, Range Rover Sport and full-size Range Rovers from the L322 onwards mostly use air suspension, and you will see ride height controls on the dashboard or centre console. Classic Defenders, Discovery 1 and most Freelanders, Evoques and Discovery Sports use coil springs. Some models, including the Discovery 2, Discovery 5, Velar and new Defender, were offered with either depending on version. Check the VIN or look for air springs at the wheels.

Why does my Land Rover clunk over bumps?

Worn anti-roll bar drop links, bushes and ball joints are the most common causes. On coil-sprung Defenders and Discoverys, check radius arm and Panhard rod bushes. On Discovery 3 and 4, front lower arm bushes are a common wear point. A workshop can pinpoint it with the vehicle on a lift.
