Shock Absorber - front suspension damper.

Mounts between the chassis bracket and the front axle, controlling the rate at which the coil spring compresses and rebounds so the axle follows the road surface instead of continuing to oscillate. Damping directly governs wheel contact, braking stability and body control under load.

Dampers act as a pair across the axle and should be replaced in pairs so damping rates stay matched side to side.
Vehicle Model Land Rover Defender up to 2016

Frequently asked questions

What is this Boge front shock absorber used for?
This Boge front shock absorber (damper) controls front suspension movement on the Land Rover Defender 90 (up to 2016), damping the spring so the wheel stays planted. It fits the 90-inch wheelbase only. A worn damper typically causes bouncing and poor control over bumps.
Does this front shock absorber fit a 110 or 130 Defender?
No, this Boge front damper fits the Defender 90 (up to 2016) only, not the 110 or 130. Early models fit from VIN XA159807, and 2007-on Puma models from VIN 7A000001. Check your wheelbase and VIN before ordering.
How many front shock absorbers should I fit at once?
Fit front shock absorbers as a matched pair on the Defender 90 so damping is even side to side. Two are needed for a full front axle job. Replacing only one leaves uneven handling between the new and older damper.
