Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC4235R rear shock absorber?
The RTC4235R is a heavy-duty, oil-filled rear shock absorber (damper) for Land Rover Series models. It controls rear axle movement, damping the leaf springs to keep the rear stable over rough ground and under load.
How many rear shocks does a Series Land Rover need?
Two, one for each rear corner of the Series 1, 2, 2A or 3. This RTC4235R is sold individually. Changing both rear dampers together keeps handling balanced, since a worn shock on one side unsettles the rear axle.
What are the signs the rear shocks need replacing?
Worn rear dampers on a Series Land Rover usually cause excessive bouncing over bumps, a wallowing rear end, and axle tramp under load. Oil-filled shocks lose damping as they leak, so the ride turns loose and uncontrolled.
