PRELIMINARY
 NOTES:

The vehicle must be set to tight tolerance mode before taking

any geometry readings or making any geometry adjustments.

Only use calibrated equipment recommended by Land Rover.

A change in camber means a change in toe, therefore camber must

always be adjusted first (only where adjustable).

1. Note the correct geometry values before carrying out this

procedure.For additional information, refer to: Specifications (204-
04 Wheels and Tires, Specifications).

2. Check the tie rod ends, suspension joints, wheel bearings and
wheels and tires for damage, wear and free play. Check and adjust
the tire pressures.

3. Roll the vehicle backwards and forwards to settle the steering and
suspension.

4. Set the vehicle into tight tolerance mode.

For additional information, refer to: Air Suspension Manual Tight
Tolerance Setting Mode (204-05 Vehicle Dynamic Suspension,
General Procedures).

REAR ALIGNMENT
1.
!

Adjust the rear wheel toe alignment. Note the readings from the
steering geometry test equipment and adjust the geometry as
required.

Loosen the tie-rod end lock nut.

Turn the eccentric bolt and adjust the toe to the specified
value.

Tighten the nut to 40 Nm + 60 degrees.

Repeat the procedure for the other side.

FRONT ALIGNMENT

NOTE:

Make sure that the front camber is set within the correct tolerance
before checking or adjusting the front toe alignment.
1.
NOTES:

To adjust the front camber the upper wishbone arms must

be replaced.

Changing the upper wishbone arm will generate a ±0.5º

change in front camber depending on the component
installed.

If necessary adjust the front wheel camber. Note the readings from
the steering geometry test equipment and adjust the geometry as
required.
For additional information, refer to: Left Upper Arm - GTDi 2.0L
Petrol (204-01 Front Suspension, Removal and Installation) /
Right Upper Arm - GTDi 2.0L Petrol (204-01 Front Suspension,
Removal and Installation).

2. Roll the vehicle backwards and forwards to settle the steering and
suspension.

3. Set the vehicle into tight tolerance mode.

For additional information, refer to: Air Suspension Manual Tight
Tolerance Setting Mode (204-05 Vehicle Dynamic Suspension,
General Procedures).

4.
CAUTION:

To prevent damage to the tie rods, use an additional wrench

when loosening or tightening the components.
 !

Loosen the tie-rod end lock nut.

5.
CAUTION:

Do not allow the gaiter to twist.

NOTE:

Both tie rods must be rotated by an equal amount.

 !

Adjust the front toe alignment. Note the readings from the steering
geometry test equipment and adjust the geometry as required.

Align the steering to straight ahead.

Adjust the steering gear tie rod, rotate using the hexagon
on the tie rod.

Check, and if necessary, repeat the wheel alignment

procedure until the correct values are obtained.

Tighten the tie rod end lock nut to 77 Nm.

Repeat the procedure for the other side.

AIR SPRING AND DAMPER MODULE

ITEM DESCRIPTION

1 Nut (damper to vehicle body)

 2 Nut (damper rod)

3 Air connector

4 Air spring and damper assembly

5 Gaiter

6 Damper yoke

7 Bolt (damper yoke to rear lower arm)

8 Nut (damper yoke to rear lower arm)

DAMPER
The damper assembly is a mono tube design with an air spring. The lower
end of the damper is fitted with a yoke which is attached to the rear lower
arm. The damper yoke also includes a location hole for the stabilizer link.

The damper functions by restricting the flow of hydraulic fluid through

internal galleries within the damper. The damper rod moves axially within
the damper, its movement limited by the flow of fluid through the galleries,
providing damping of undulations in the terrain. The damper rod is sealed
at its exit point from the damper body to maintain the fluid within the unit
and to prevent the ingress of dirt and moisture. The seal also incorporates a
wiper to keep the rod clean.

AIR SPRING

The air spring comprises an aluminium restraining cylinder, top mount,

spring aid, air sleeve, an inner support sleeve aluminium piston and a lower
isolator. Elastomeric gaiters are fitted top and bottom. The upper gaiter is a
self-supporting cover. The lower gaiter is of a convoluted design and fitted
to the restraining cylinder by a metal clip and is attached to the damper by
a plastic ring clipped to the damper.

The air sleeve is made from a flexible rubber material which allows the
sleeve to roll up and down the air spring piston as the vehicle changes
height. The air sleeve is attached to the air spring piston and top mount by
crimp rings which provide an air tight seal, surrounded by the restraining
cylinder. The air spring piston mounts to a spring isolator which contains an
O-ring sealing the piston assembly to the damper body. The piston
assembly is positively attached to the seat with retaining spigots. The top of
the air sleeve is crimped to the top mount which attaches to the body with
four integral studs and self-locking nuts.

A spring aid is fitted to the top mount concentric with the damper rod and
prevents the top mount contacting the bump cap fitted to the top of the
damper during full suspension compression. The lower end of the air spring
is located over the damper body and seats on a fabricated seat on the
damper body. The damper rod is located through a central hole in the top
mount. The rod is threaded at its outer end. A nut secures the air spring to
the damper rod.

The top mount is an integral part of the air spring and is fitted with a bush
and a dynamic seal. The top mount is secured to the damper rod with a nut.
The top mount attaches to a suspension tower on the body with four
integral studs and self-locking nuts. The top mount also incorporates an air
fitting which allows for the attachment of the air pipe.

NOTE:

Air spring internal components are not serviceable.

10 Stabilizer link (right)

Vehicles with the Dynamic Response system use an active stabilizer bar
For additional information, refer to: Ride and Handling Optimization (204-06
Ride and Handling Optimization, Description and Operation).

The stabilizer bar is fabricated from induction hardened, solid spring steel
bar. The stabilizer bar operates, via a pair of links, from their attachment to
the lower arm.

The stabilizer bar is mounted on the subframe’s rear cross member and is
attached with two, Teflon lined bushes. Brackets, which are pressed onto
the bushes, are attached to the cross member with bolts. The stabilizer bar
has crimped, 'anti-shuffle' collars pressed in position on the inside edges of
the bushes. The collars prevent sideways movement of the stabilizer bar.

The links have a ball joint at each end, are fitted with hardened steel
washers at both ends. The top ball joint is attached to the link at 90 degrees
to the link axis. The ball joint is located in a hole in the damper yoke and
secured with the hardened steel washer on one side of the interface and a
self-locking nut on the other. The bottom ball joint is attached to the link at
90 degrees to the link axis. The ball joint is located in a hole in the end of
the stabilizer bar and secured with the hardened steel washer on one side of
the interface and the self-locking nut on other

It is important that the hardened steel washer is in the correct position

between the stabilizer bar and the link ball joint and the damper yoke and
the link ball joint and the correct, hardened washer is fitted.

CAUTION:

Failure to fit the washer or using an incorrect washer will result in

relaxation of the torque on the self-locking nut and damage will be
caused to the stabilizer bar, link and damper yoke.

FRONT AIR SPRINGS - DAMPER

HYDRAULIC FLUID LEAK DIAGNOSTICS

In the case of customer reports of a knock type sound from one or both
front air springs when travelling over speed bumps at low speed, the air
springs should be checked for damper hydraulic fluid leaks as follows:

1. Remove the air spring and damper assembly.

REFER to: Shock Absorber and Spring Assembly (204-01 Front
Suspension, Removal and Installation).

2. Invert the air spring and damper assembly over a suitable container
(required to collect any fluids escaping from the air spring and damper
assembly - see illustration below)
 !

3. Wait for at least one minute and check for evidence of hydraulic fluid
flowing from the air suspension air line connector

4. If escaping fluid is noted, the air spring and damper assembly must be
replaced.
REFER to: Shock Absorber and Spring Assembly (204-01 Front
Suspension, Removal and Installation).

5. If a fluid residue is not visible, the concern is not likely to be related to

the air spring module and further reference should be made to TOPIx
for any related Technical Service Bulletins

OVERVIEW

The independent rear suspension offers a reduction in unsprung weight.

Combined with an aluminum subframe the suspension offers: maximized

dynamic performance for ride, handling and steering refinement and
minimized vibration.

Depending on vehicle specification, either:

a conventional stabilizer bar is fitted, or

a dynamic response stabilizer bar.

For additional information, refer to: Ride and Handling Optimization (204-
06, Description and Operation).

3 Nut (damper rod)

4 Air connector

5 Air spring

6 Nut (damper to wheel knuckle)

7 Bolt (damper to wheel knuckle)

8 Damper - external oil reservoir

DAMPER

The damper assembly is a mono tube design, the lower end of the damper
is fitted with a bush and is attached to the wheel knuckle. The damper top
mounting is located in a turret in the body and secured to the body with
three nuts

secured to the body with three nuts The damper functions by restricting the
flow of hydraulic fluid through internal galleries within the damper. The
damper rod moves axially within the damper, its movement limited by the
flow of fluid through the galleries, providing damping of undulations in the
terrain. The damper rod is sealed at its exit point from the damper body to
maintain the fluid within the unit and to prevent the ingress of dirt and
moisture. The seal also incorporates a wiper to keep the rod clean.

AIR SPRING
Each air spring comprises a top cap assembly, an air bag and a base piston.
The air bag is attached to the top cap and the piston with crimp rings. The
air bag is made from a flexible rubber material which allows the sleeve to
roll up and down the air spring piston as the vehicle changes height. The
top cap assembly comprises the plastic top cap with a spigot which
protrudes through a hole in the subframe. This spigot includes a timing
feature to ensure the air spring is in the correct orientation and is attached
to the subframe with a spring clip. On the side of the top cap is a connector
which allows for the attachment of the air pipe from the valve block. The
piston is made from plastic and is shaped to allow the air bag to roll over its
outer diameter. The base of the piston has a spigot with an integral clip to
locate into the lower wishbone.

The air springs are located inboard of the dampers and are retained
between the subframe and the lower wishbone.

7 Bracket (stabilizer bar to subframe)

8 Bolt (stabilizer bar bracket to subframe)

9 Stabilizer bar

10 Stabilizer link (left)

Vehicles without the Dynamic Response stabilizer bar system use a

conventional stabilizer bar. The Dynamic Response system is detailed in a
separate section
For additional information, refer to: Ride and Handling Optimization (204-
06, Description and Operation).
The stabilizer bar is fabricated from induction hardened, solid spring steel
bar. The stabilizer bar operates, via a pair of links, from their attachment to
the lower arm.

The stabilizer bar is mounted on the subframe’s rear cross member and is
attached with two, Teflon lined bushes. Brackets, which are pressed onto
the bushes, are attached to the cross member with bolts. The stabilizer bar
has crimped, 'anti-shuffle' collars pressed in position on the inside edges of
the bushes. The collars prevent sideways movement of the stabilizer bar.

The links have a ball joint at each end, are fitted with hardened steel
washers at both ends. The bottom ball joint is attached to the link at 90
degrees to the link axis. The ball joint is located in a hole in the lower arm
and secured with the hardened steel washer on one side of the interface
and a self-locking nut on the other. The top ball joint is attached to the link
at 90 degrees to the link axis. The ball joint is located in a hole in the end of
the stabilizer bar and secured with the hardened steel washer on one side of
the interface and the self-locking nut on other.

It is important that the hardened steel washer is in the correct position

between the stabilizer bar and the link ball joint and the damper yoke and
the link ball joint and the correct, hardened washer is fitted.

CAUTION:

Failure to fit the washer or using an incorrect washer will result in

relaxation of the torque on the self-locking nut and damage will be
caused to the stabilizer bar, link and lower arm.

LOWER ARM
The lower arm is cast aluminum with two bushes pressed into the inner
section of the arm which provides for the attachment to the subframe. The
bushes are located between brackets on the subframe and secured with
bolts and nuts. The lower arm has a platform which provides for the
attachment of the air spring and a location hole for the attachment of the
stabilizer link.

The outer section of the arm is attached to the forward end of the wheel
knuckle by links which provides castor control. Lugs at the rearward end of
the lower arm attach to the wheel knuckle’s rear bush.

TIE ARM
The tie arm is pressed steel with both ends having a bush pressed into an
integral housing.

The inner bush locates between brackets on the subframe and is secured
with a special eccentric bolt, washer and nut. This allows for the adjustment
of the rear wheel toe. Rotation of the bolt moves the eccentric head within
a recessed slot in the bracket, allowing the toe to be adjusted within the set
limits. The outer bush attaches to the wheel knuckle.
