Front Damper - Left Hand - the left-hand front suspension damper unit, forming the damping element of the front strut assembly.

It controls the rate of compression and rebound at the front left corner, damping the coil spring so the wheel follows the road surface rather than continuing to oscillate after an input. This is a handed part and is supplied for the left-hand side.

Built to the sports-tuned suspension specification and identified by its grey and orange markings. Dampers are replaced in axle pairs so damping remains matched across the axle.

Frequently asked questions

What is the RSC500070 front shock absorber?
The RSC500070 is the front left-hand shock absorber (damper) for the Freelander 1. It controls front wheel movement on the left side, damping the spring to keep the front axle stable over bumps and under braking.
Is this shock side-specific, and how many do I need?
Yes, the RSC500070 is the left-hand front damper for the Freelander 1. It's best to change both front dampers as a pair for even handling, so order the matching right-hand unit too. This one is sold individually.
What are the signs the front shock needs replacing?
Worn front dampers on the Freelander 1 usually cause bouncing over bumps, nose dive under braking, and uneven front tyre wear. Damping fades as the internal seal wears, so the front end feels floaty and vague.
Does the RSC500070 fit my Freelander 1?
The RSC500070 fits the Freelander 1 built from 1996 to 2006, from VIN 1A000001, as the front left-hand damper. Check your VIN against that break, since early build front dampers can differ.
