Suspension longevity at 237,000 km

Tags: #shock-absorbers · #bushings

One owner with 237,000 km on the odometer reports good ride quality after replacing the original shock absorbers and installing pneumatic air springs (баллоны) at around the 120,000 km mark — he has been running on the air springs since then ("жопа и живая" — the rear end is still in good shape).¹² At high mileage he also replaced the track rod end bushings in the control arms where the springs sit (саленблоки в рычагах).¹ With these interventions the vehicle maintains good ride quality without needing further major suspension work.¹²³
