Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC4442 rear shock absorber for?

The RTC4442 is a rear shock absorber for long-wheelbase Land Rover Series models. It damps the rear axle to control body movement and keep the wheels in contact with the ground. This is a Girling unit and fits the rear position on Series 2 and Series 3 long-wheelbase vehicles.

How many rear shock absorbers should I order?

There are two rear shock absorbers, one per side. It's best practice to replace shocks in pairs so both sides damp evenly, so order two for a full rear set. Fitting a new shock on one side only can leave the handling unbalanced.

Which Land Rovers does this shock fit?

This shock fits Land Rover Series 2, 2A and Series 3 in long-wheelbase (109 inch) form, rear position. Confirm you have the long-wheelbase chassis, as short-wheelbase models use a different length shock. Cross-references include RTC4236, GSA200 and GDA1003.

What are the signs of a worn shock absorber?

Worn rear shocks usually show as a bouncy or wallowing ride, poor control over bumps, uneven tyre wear, or fluid leaking down the shock body. On a Series Land Rover this affects load stability. Shocks are replaced in pairs once damping is lost.
