Shock Absorber - Front - LH - hydraulic damper forming the damper element of the front strut assembly, left-hand side.

The unit controls the rate at which the front road spring compresses and rebounds, keeping the tyre loaded against the road surface and limiting body movement under braking and cornering. The spring carries the vehicle weight; the damper controls its motion. Deterioration is gradual and is usually noticed as float over undulations, increased nose dive under braking, or uneven tyre wear.

Supplied as the damper unit alone, without the coil spring. One unit is fitted per side, and dampers are replaced in axle pairs so damping rates stay matched from side to side.

Frequently asked questions

What is the LR031665G shock absorber and what does it do?

It is the front suspension damper for the left-hand side, manufactured by Bilstein. It forms the damper element of the front strut assembly and controls the rate at which the front road spring compresses and rebounds. The spring carries the vehicle weight; the damper controls its motion, keeping the tyre loaded against the road surface and limiting body movement under braking and cornering.

Does this shock absorber come with the coil spring?

No. It is supplied as the damper unit alone, without the coil spring. While the strut is out it is usually worth checking the condition of the spring, the upper mounting and the bump stop, since these are typically replaced at the same time if they are tired.

Which side of the vehicle does LR031665G fit?

The left-hand side of the front axle. On Land Rover part numbering, left and right are conventionally taken as viewed from the driver's seat facing forward. The equivalent unit for the right-hand front corner is LR031667G.

Do both front shock absorbers need replacing at the same time?

Dampers are normally replaced in axle pairs so damping rates stay matched from side to side. Fitting a new unit against a worn one typically shows up as uneven body control, or as the car pulling or diving unevenly under braking.

What tools are needed to fit a front shock absorber?

Typically a trolley jack and axle stands, metric sockets and spanners for the upper and lower mountings, and a spring compressor if the damper has to be separated from the coil spring. Access is usually from inside the engine bay for the upper mounting and at the hub for the lower. Because the front strut helps set the wheel geometry, a suspension alignment check afterwards is usually advisable.
