Genuine Part
Genuine: Original manufacturer part. This product is the original part designed and produced by the vehicle manufacturer.
Spring Aid - Rear is a component of the rear suspension, seating within the coil spring assembly to provide a progressive secondary spring rate.

As the suspension approaches the limit of upward wheel travel, the spring aid compresses to cushion the axle against the chassis, absorbing shock loads and protecting the damper and surrounding structure under heavy compression.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Spring Aid Rear used for on a Land Rover?
The Spring Aid Rear is a progressive secondary spring that seats inside the rear coil spring on the Land Rover Freelander 1. As the suspension nears full compression, it cushions the axle against the chassis, absorbing shock loads and protecting the rear damper from bottoming out.
How many rear spring aids are needed for a Freelander 1?
Typically two rear spring aids are needed for a Freelander 1, one per side, since one sits within each rear coil spring. Replacing both sides together usually keeps the rear suspension balanced. They are commonly renewed alongside rear springs or dampers during the same job.
What are the signs a rear spring aid needs replacing?
A perished or crumbling rear spring aid usually shows as harsh knocking over bumps and the rear suspension bottoming out under load on the Freelander 1. The rubber typically degrades with age and oil contamination. Worn aids let the axle strike the chassis and damage surrounding suspension parts.
