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

Mounted between the front axle and its chassis bracket, the damper works with the front road spring to control axle oscillation and body movement, keeping the tyre loaded over uneven ground. Float or wallow after a bump, nose dive under braking and cupped tyre wear all point to a worn unit.

This is the damper specification for chassis built with air suspension and with Active Cornering Enhancement (ACE), the hydraulic anti-roll system that stiffens the anti-roll bars under cornering load. A separate damper is specified for vehicles without ACE and the two are not interchangeable. Fit one per side and renew as an axle pair so damping stays balanced left to right.

Frequently asked questions

What is the RNB103694 front ACE shock absorber?
The RNB103694 is a front shock absorber for the Discovery 2 fitted with air suspension and ACE (Active Cornering Enhancement). It damps the front axle and works alongside the ACE hydraulic anti-roll system to control body lean in corners.
How do I know if I need the ACE or non-ACE front shock?
Fit the RNB103694 only if your Discovery 2 has ACE (Active Cornering Enhancement). ACE cars use hydraulic anti-roll bars, so the front damper differs from non-ACE vehicles. Check for the ACE pump and hydraulic lines before ordering, or you'll get the wrong front shock.
How many front ACE shocks does a Discovery 2 take?
Two, one per front corner of the Discovery 2. This RNB103694 is sold individually. Dampers are best changed as an axle pair so front damping stays even, especially with the ACE system managing body roll.
Does the RNB103694 fit my Discovery 2?
The RNB103694 fits the Discovery 2 with air suspension and ACE, VIN XA237290 to 2A999999. Check your VIN against both ends of that range and confirm ACE is fitted, since non-ACE and later cars need a different front shock.
