Rear Shock Absorber for air-sprung rear suspension on vehicles fitted with Active Cornering Enhancement (ACE), part of the rear shock absorbers and springs assembly.

The rear air springs carry the load and set ride height; the damper controls the rate at which the suspension compresses and rebounds, restraining axle movement and limiting body movement under braking and cornering. ACE uses hydraulically actuated anti-roll bars to resist body roll, and a distinct damper is specified for vehicles combining air suspension with ACE; it is not interchangeable with the coil-sprung ACE damper, nor with the air-suspension damper for vehicles without ACE.

Fitted in pairs, one per side.

Frequently asked questions

What is the RPD102354R rear shock absorber for?
The RPD102354R is the rear shock absorber for Discovery 2 with air suspension and Active Cornering Enhancement (ACE). It damps the rear suspension, controlling compression and rebound so the air springs are not left to oscillate, which keeps the rear axle settled over uneven ground.
How many RPD102354R dampers are fitted to a Discovery 2?
Two RPD102354R dampers are fitted per Discovery 2, one each side of the rear axle. Fitment data lists quantity two per vehicle, so they are best renewed as a matched pair to keep rear damping even.
What are the symptoms of a worn rear ACE damper on a Discovery 2?
A worn rear ACE damper on a Discovery 2 typically shows as a bouncy or wallowing rear end, clonks over bumps and oil weeping from the damper body. Because the air springs only carry load, worn dampers leave the rear unable to control rebound.
Which Discovery 2 does the RPD102354R fit?
The RPD102354R fits Discovery 2 from 1998-2004 with air suspension and Active Cornering Enhancement (ACE), VIN XA237290 to 2A999999. It is not correct for coil-sprung or non-ACE Discovery 2, so check your VIN before ordering this rear damper.
