Hi
First post so please be gentle
Rear near side shock absorber is leaking(warranty doesn't cover shocks ) , is it recommended to replace both at same time??
Does anyone know how much (roughly) to get these done ?

It's a 07 SE TD4

Always change BOTH on the same axle, same goes for brakes, bearings ....... etc. Front or back. That is best practice.

I would also have the front shocks checked.

Cost is dependent who you chose to conduct the repair. Go for a local independent, shop around.

What Largered said.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Freelanders BTW Jules

KYB are a good brand. Had them on my last car, and put rears on the Freelander when i got her.

Numbers you'll need for a 2007 Freelander are:
KYB 335831
KYB 335832

We have a full set of KYB's on the wife's Fl2 and can't fault them .

Mark 2009 FL2 TD4 SE (Sadly gone)
2007 FL2 TD4 GS (The wifes , gone after 8 great years)
2012 FL2 SD4 SPORT LE(Gone and missing it)
2015 DISCOVERY SPORT 2.2SD4 HSE (Now gone)
2014 Ford Bmax 1.0 ecoboost ( Gone but what next )
2014 Ford Focus 2.0tdci Zetec S (Gone,but what a car)
2020 Ford Fiesta ActiveX 1.0 Ecoboost
2024 Skoda Kodiaq 1.5 Tsi SEL

Ditto KYB.
No idea what it would cost to fit, did mine myself, easy enough to do. Common sense isn't very common.

All throughout my apprenticeship and working life in the motor trade I’ve taught and been taught that it is good practice to replace an axle set of shocks/springs and brake components as if replacing just one side it could leave things out of balance but I’ve never heard it with bearings. Never seen it done either and I’ve worked in a few different main dealers. I can’t see one wheel bearing putting anything out of balance and if they use the argument that the other side has done just as many miles, why not extend that logic to the rear bearings if changing one front one? Come on! No doubt bearing manufacturers will say different. Well, they would say that, wouldn’t they?  Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto
Evoque SD4 Dynamic Lux Auto
Present: Audi A3 S Line.

Thanks Everyone
