Frequently asked questions

What is this front shock absorber for?
This front shock absorber damps spring oscillation on compression and rebound for the front axle, controlling body movement and keeping the wheels tracking the road. It's an ARB performance-uprated damper, giving firmer control than a standard unit for heavier-duty and higher-load use.
How many front shock absorbers do I need?
Front shock absorbers are usually replaced as an axle pair, so most jobs need two to keep damping even side to side. Fitting one new and one worn damper typically causes uneven handling, so replacing both fronts together is the standard approach on these models.
Which Land Rovers does this ARB shock fit?
This front shock fits the Defender (all pre-2016 models) and Discovery 1 (1989-1998). It's an ARB Sport performance damper, so it suits raised or heavily loaded builds. Confirm your ride height and suspension setup, as uprated dampers are matched to specific spring and lift combinations.
What are the signs a front shock absorber is worn?
Signs of a worn front shock include a bouncy or floaty ride, nose dive under braking, uneven tyre wear or fluid leaking down the body. On Defender and Discovery 1 front axles, worn dampers reduce control off-road and on. Replace in pairs for balanced handling.
