Frequently asked questions

What does the STC2831 rear shock absorber do?
The STC2831 rear shock absorber is a hydraulic damper that controls rear axle and body movement on the Range Rover Classic. It damps spring oscillation and wheel rebound, keeping the tyres in steady contact with the road and settling the ride.
Should rear shock absorbers be replaced in pairs?
Rear shock absorbers are best replaced as a pair. Fitting one new and one worn damper on the Range Rover Classic gives uneven damping side to side, which upsets handling and ride balance. This is a Girling-brand damper, so matching both sides keeps performance even.
What are the signs a rear shock absorber needs replacing?
Typical signs on the Range Rover Classic are oil leaking down the damper body, excessive body roll or float over bumps, and a general drop in ride quality. A rear end that keeps bouncing after you press down on the body is another common indicator.
Does this fit every Range Rover Classic?
This rear damper fits the Range Rover Classic from 1992 to 1994, from VIN JA610294 onward. Earlier Classic models can differ, so check your VIN falls after that break before ordering.
