Monotube Shock Absorber for the front damper position of the coil sprung suspension, working alongside the coil spring to control body movement and keep the wheel loaded over uneven ground.

Monotube construction uses a floating piston to separate the high-pressure nitrogen charge from the suspension fluid, so the two cannot mix and aeration is eliminated under sustained damping loads. The higher gas pressure allows more responsive valving, giving greater sensitivity over small surface irregularities and a firmer, faster reaction to large impacts. The single large-bore body increases fluid capacity and gives the piston a wider working area for more precise damping control.

Built to standard closed and extended lengths, so it suits a vehicle at standard ride height on standard-length springs.

Frequently asked questions

What is this monotube front shock absorber?
This is a Terrafirma monotube front shock absorber for standard ride height suspension. The monotube design runs a single high-pressure gas and oil column, which resists fade and suits off-road use. It works with the front coil spring to control body movement.
Is this shock sold individually?
This is a single front shock absorber. Shocks are usually replaced in axle pairs, so most front jobs need two to keep damping even side to side. Check whether you also need the rear units.
Which vehicles take this standard travel front shock?
This standard travel monotube front shock fits the Land Rover Defender, Discovery 1 (1989-1998) and Range Rover Classic at standard ride height. It is for standard height suspension, not lifted setups.
