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 RNB103694R front shock absorber used for?
The RNB103694R front shock absorber damps front suspension movement on the Discovery 2 (1998-2004) equipped with ACE (Active Cornering Enhancement) and air suspension. It's an aftermarket damper matched to the ACE anti-roll system at the front axle.
What does the ACE fitment mean for my Discovery 2?
ACE means Active Cornering Enhancement, a hydraulic anti-roll system. This shock is specifically for Discovery 2 cars with ACE and air suspension, VIN XA237290 to 2A999999. Cars without ACE use a different front damper, so confirm your vehicle has ACE before ordering.
How many front shock absorbers are needed?
Two front shock absorbers are typically needed, one per side. Front dampers are usually replaced as an axle pair on the Discovery 2 so ride height and handling stay even, so order two.
What are the signs this front shock needs replacing?
A worn front shock typically shows as a bouncy ride, nose-dive under braking, clunks over bumps or oil leaking down the damper body. On an ACE-equipped Discovery 2 poor damping can also upset cornering feel. Replace in pairs.
