I found a new vendor remanufacturing air springs for cheap $275 from CarID.com. I have gotten Remanufactured Arnotts they're for about $400 before but they don't make them anymore. Turns out my passenger front side that I bought 2 years ago is now leaking. I noticed that the unity air spring has the same part number for comfort and sport. My question is:can I get away with installing the unity piece in the front passenger and retain the sport Arnott on the driver side?
2 reasons why I'm looking to only replace one front air spring.
1. The driver front is less than 1 year old Arnott reman sport. Hate to replace that just to match the passenger replacement.
2. I'm rebuilding the suspension bushings and replacing all tires and can't afford to replace both front air springs.
Thanks in advance!

 

In case anyone is wondering the unity air spring can be found here:

Having two different damping characteristics on opposite front corners would not be the best idea for handling.

Could you not try and sell the the shock less than a year old?

The Car-ID shocks I presume they do not support CATS?

They are rebuilt unis si they should have CATS.

 

The greatest problem with reman's is they are used shocks, and generally, by the time they needed replacement the first time, they were beyond their useful life. I know when I replaced mine with new Bilstein B4's the shock quality was dramatically better.

 

I agree with you box. My front Arnott is living proof of it only lasting 2 years. Unfortunately there no way I'll be able to afford bilsteins after rebuilding the suspension and getting new tires.
