04 Cayenne S rear air suspension

[Marko911/944]

Thanks for all the posts on my S project. Can anyone tell me if the VW Toureg has any common rear air suspension parts with my S? How about the differences in the Cayenne without air susp (other than the obvious)?

I'm fairly certain that they share the main components.

What type of problem are you having? FWIW, leaky systems are likely not at the air-spring, but rather at the supply-line side.

That supply line info makes sense, good to know since the shocks are expensive. My problem is a little larger, I'm rebuilding an '05 Cayenne S with air susp, and my donor vehicle is an '05 S with springs. The better of the two has had its left rear susp torn out, and I'm swapping the entire rear susp assemblies. So..... I was hoping VW parts would be interchangeable, especially the shocks. At this point in the project it looks as if all I need to do is get 1 air shock, and the swap should be good. My next post is about removing the e-brake cables from the rear hubs.
