Front Shock Absorber - part of the front suspension damping assembly.

The damper is mounted between the front axle and its chassis bracket and works with the front road spring to control axle oscillation, keeping the tyre loaded and the body settled over uneven ground. A worn unit typically shows as float or wallow after a bump, nose dive under braking and uneven tyre wear.

This is the damper specification listed for chassis built with air suspension; vehicles on conventional coil-sprung suspension or with Active Cornering Enhancement (ACE) take a different damper. Dampers are fitted one per side and should be renewed as an axle pair so damping stays balanced left to right.

Frequently asked questions

What is the RNB000270R front shock absorber used for?
The RNB000270R front shock absorber damps front suspension movement on the Discovery 2 (1998-2004) fitted with air suspension. It's an aftermarket damper that controls spring oscillation at the front axle, keeping the tyre in contact with the road.
How many front shock absorbers are needed?
Two front shock absorbers are typically needed, one per side. Dampers are usually replaced in axle pairs so both sides wear evenly, so order two for a complete Discovery 2 front job.
Does this fit all Discovery 2 models?
This front shock fits the Discovery 2 (1998-2004) with air suspension, from VIN 3A000000 onwards. It's for air-sprung cars, not coil-sprung variants. Confirm your Discovery 2 has air suspension and your VIN is 3A000000 or later.
What are the signs a front shock absorber needs replacing?
Worn front shock absorbers typically cause a bouncy or floaty ride, nose-dive under braking, uneven tyre wear or fluid leaking down the body. On a Discovery 2 you may also notice reduced stability on rough roads. Replace in pairs.
