I've had my 2005 Vanden Plas for 3 years, and really enjoy it. "nice ride". Now over 140K miles, I need to replace the front passenger strut (air leaking) . I've decided to use the Arnott Air Stut as a replacement. Arnott advertises Air Struts for XJ models with Comfort or Sport Suspensions. Now the Question: How do I verify if my 2005 VDP has a Comfort or Sport Suspension?

Dunno but usually only XJR's have sport suspension.
VdP's should have comfort shocks in principle.
If it's the original suspension setup, you may enter your VIN in the following application, it should indicate whether you have the standard or sport suspension:

Look on strut. Should have a green sticker. That is comfort.

 

Thank you both for your quick replies. I just checked the Ford website and it states a Standard Suspension. I will look for the Green sticker on the strut tomorrow.
again Thank you.

 

The XJR has sport, which is a red sticker I believe. The VDP should be comfort

 

When I had to replace mine on my 2005 VDP, I called the dealer with my vin and they indicated comfort suspension.
