Frequently asked questions

What does the DC5000L front shock absorber do on a Discovery 2?

The DC5000L is a gas-charged front shock absorber for the Land Rover Discovery 2, built for a +50mm raised or lifted suspension. It damps front suspension movement to control body roll and keep the tyres in contact with the ground on road and off road.

How many DC5000L shock absorbers are needed for a Discovery 2?

Two DC5000L shocks are needed for a full front axle job, one per side. They're sold individually, so order two to replace both fronts together. Replacing shocks in pairs keeps damping even across the axle.

Why do front shock absorbers fail on a Discovery 2?

Front shock absorbers wear out as the internal gas and oil seals degrade, which shows up as a bouncy ride, nose dive under braking, or fluid leaking down the body. On a lifted Discovery 2, worn dampers also reduce off-road wheel control.

Does this shock fit a standard-height Discovery 2?

The DC5000L is built for a +50mm raised or lifted Land Rover Discovery 2 running the Yellow spring range or standard springs. Confirm your spring setup before ordering, since ride height affects the correct damper length.
