Front Shock Absorber - right-hand front damper for the long-wheelbase chassis with four corner air suspension.

It controls wheel and body movement at the front right corner. Load is carried by the air spring, so the damper contributes damping only; deteriorating damping shows as float over undulations, poor rebound control, or uneven tyre wear.

Handed to the right-hand side. Supplied individually - dampers are normally replaced in axle pairs so damping stays balanced across the axle.

Frequently asked questions

What is the LR178633W front shock absorber and what does it do?
The LR178633W is the right-hand front damper for the New Defender L663 long-wheelbase with four-corner air suspension. The air spring carries the load, so this damper controls wheel and body movement only. Poor damping shows as float over undulations or uneven tyre wear.
Is this handed, and should I replace both sides?
This damper is handed to the right-hand front side. It's supplied individually, but dampers are normally replaced in axle pairs so damping stays balanced left to right. For the left front you'll need the opposite-hand part.
Which Defenders does this shock fit?
This shock fits the New Defender L663 long-wheelbase with four-corner air suspension, in the VIN range P2141285 to R2999999. Standard-wheelbase or coil-sprung Defenders use a different damper, so check wheelbase, suspension type and VIN before ordering.
