Front Shock Absorber - Air Suspension - the front damper unit used in the air suspension system, fitted to vehicles built with air springs in place of coil springs.

The air spring carries the load and sets ride height; this damper provides the hydraulic damping alongside it, controlling the speed at which the front suspension compresses and rebounds so the wheel stays in contact with the ground. Two are fitted, one at each front corner.

Replace in pairs so damping rates remain matched across the axle. Oil residue on the damper body, knocking over bumps or an unsettled ride after an input are the usual signs of wear.

Frequently asked questions

What does this front shock absorber do?
This front shock absorber damps the front suspension on the Discovery 3 with air suspension. It controls movement so the wheel stays planted and the body settles after bumps. This version is specified for air suspension models, working alongside the air springs at the front.
Does this fit a Discovery 3 without air suspension?
This damper is listed for Discovery 3 air suspension models. If your vehicle runs coil springs at the front rather than air, confirm the correct damper before ordering. Check whether your Discovery 3 has air suspension, as the air and coil setups use different front parts.
How many front shocks does a Discovery 3 need?
Two front shocks are needed, one per side. Replace them as a pair so both front corners have matching damping. This listing is one shock, so order two to do the front of the Discovery 3 together and keep the ride even.
How do I confirm this fits my vehicle?
This front shock fits the Discovery 3 (2005-2009) with air suspension, all engines, from VIN 7A000001 to 9A999999. Check your VIN against this range and confirm your vehicle has air suspension at the front before ordering.
