What does suspension fault on a Range Rover mean?

If the fault becomes active when the suspension is at “normal” height, the suspension is locked, preventing it from raising or lowering with a warning message “Normal Height Only”. If the suspension is lowered when the fault becomes active, it fails to raise and the warning message to not exceed 35 MPH is shown.

Can I replace just one shock absorber?

If you replace only one shock absorber, it may create “unevenness” from side to side when driving over bumps. However, if your car is not very old, replacing only one strut or shock absorber may be enough, since the opposite side is not worn out yet.
