Good afternoon,

I will soon be replacing both rear CVD shocks because one is leaking. Should I also replace other components such as the Insulator/Mounting Bracket?

No, but the instructions say to renew the paper gasket to prevent moisture ingress into the cabin.

They are sold as complete units including the mounting bracket. I fitted Bilstein because they were significantly cheaper than genuine LR even though sourced ex UK.

Thanks, guys.

I´m also going to use Bilstein, the cheapest I can source is coming in at €706 for the pair. Lovely. 2012 4.4 TDV8 Westminster - Baltic Blue, Jet interior

I fitted Bilstein. You still need the paper gaskets from LR…. That didn’t come with mine.

Only a few pounds…. Other folk might have had then in their kit of course.

As the gaskets aren't included in the component diagram for the shock I wouldn't expect any genuine or after-market shock to include them.

Just because it's leaking doesn't mean it needs replacing. There is a service buletin about leaks and the need to not be concerned. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Thanks, JayGee,

But this needs to be replaced. As I mentioned in another post, there is an obvious leak (not simply "misting") when the rear driver's wheel encounters a succession of rapid potholes or a poor road surface. The back end will violently drop on that side, causing a dramatic lurch at the front. It feels like the whole car is twisting. It's actually quite scary. 2012 4.4 TDV8 Westminster - Baltic Blue, Jet interior

That's called 'jacking' when the rebound damping is more than the compression damping and the strut effectively shortens. Mine have been damp for the last 2 years / 30K miles but still do their job and are now on 160+k miles 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

i used aerosus recently. worked like a champ.

also transformed my car. mine were so "empty" that you could push the dampers by hand very easily. Its actually a sport

Not anymore, 4.4 TDV8 now

Thanks, everyone.

"Jacking" feels like the shock collapses but recovers. 2012 4.4 TDV8 Westminster - Baltic Blue, Jet interior

I've also got leaks and quite a compression rebound in both my rear shocks.

Anyone here in Canada/North Eastern US have a recommendation for a supplier, kindly do share your experience  2012 Supercharged L322
