Frequently asked questions

What is the DC5003 shock absorber and what does it do?
The DC5003 is an aftermarket gas-pressurised shock absorber made by Allmakes. It damps spring oscillation in the suspension, controlling body movement over rough ground. It's typically fitted at the rear on the live-axle Land Rovers it suits, helping keep the wheel in contact with the ground.
Which Land Rovers does the DC5003 fit?
The DC5003 fits the Land Rover Defender up to 2016, Discovery 1 (1989-1998) and Range Rover Classic (up to 1994). These share the coil-sprung live-axle layout this damper is built for. Use your VIN to confirm the variant before ordering.
How many DC5003 shock absorbers do I need?
The DC5003 is supplied individually. A complete rear axle replacement typically needs two, and dampers are usually replaced in pairs to keep damping even side to side. Fitting just one can leave handling uneven.
