Rear Shock Absorber - hydraulic damper unit in the rear suspension assembly, working alongside the rear coil spring and its upper mounting to control body movement.

The damper resists spring oscillation after the wheel travels over an obstacle, keeping the tyre in contact with the road surface and controlling body roll, pitch and rebound. It locates between the axle-side lower mounting and the upper mounting in the body, and is a wearing item whose deterioration is gradual - decline in damping is usually noticed as float over undulations, increased nose dive under braking, or uneven tyre wear.

Specified for the passive, non-adaptive damping configuration; it is not intended for installations using electronically controlled adaptive damping. Replace in pairs across the axle so damping stays balanced side to side.

Frequently asked questions

What is the rear non-adaptive shock absorber used for?
The rear non-adaptive shock absorber (damper) controls rear suspension movement on the Range Rover L322 (2002-2012) without electronic adaptive damping. It suits vehicles specified with conventional dampers rather than the adaptive system. A worn unit typically causes a floaty ride and poor control over bumps.
Does this shock absorber fit my Range Rover L322?
This rear damper fits the Range Rover L322 (2002-2012) with non-adaptive damping. The 2002-2009 fitment covers 4.4 V8 and 4.2 supercharged, less armoured, to VIN 7A249758. The 2010-2012 fitment covers the 5.0L V8, from VIN AA000001. Use your VIN to confirm.
What does non-adaptive damping mean for this shock absorber?
Non-adaptive damping means this shock absorber has a fixed damping rate, unlike the L322's electronically adjustable adaptive dampers. Fitting it to a vehicle originally equipped with adaptive damping can trigger faults. Confirm your Range Rover L322 uses conventional rear dampers before ordering.
