Frequently asked questions

What is the LR078496 MacPherson strut and what does it do?
The LR078496 MacPherson strut is the front suspension damper on the Range Rover Evoque L538 (2012-2018). It forms the main vertical strut locating the front wheel and controls vertical wheel movement, working with the road spring to manage ride and handling. OEM BWI unit.
How many struts should I replace at once?
Replace front struts in pairs. Fitting one new LR078496 strut against a worn one on the opposite side gives uneven damping and handling on the Range Rover Evoque L538. Renew both left and right front together for balanced ride.
What are the signs this front strut needs replacing?
A worn front strut typically shows as a bouncy or floaty ride, nose-dive under braking, uneven front tyre wear, or fluid leaking down the strut body. On the Range Rover Evoque L538, knocking over bumps can also point to a failed damper.
