MNC3540CA-B - Suspension Damper by Bilstein Land Rover Range Rover

MNC3540CA-B - Shock Absorber – Rear – Sport

Q: What does the rear shock absorber do on the Jaguar XJ?

The rear shock absorber damps the rear suspension, converting spring and wheel movement into heat so body and wheel oscillation stays controlled and the tyre stays loaded on the road. This is the firmer sport-suspension damping rate for the Jaguar XJ (X308).

Q: How many are fitted, and should they be replaced together?

Two are fitted per vehicle, one each side of the rear axle. Replace them as a pair so damping stays balanced across the axle. A single new damper against a worn one gives uneven rear control.

Q: What are the signs the rear damper needs replacing?

Typical signs are fluid leaking down the body, a floaty or bouncy ride, poor body control over bumps, and uneven tyre wear. A worn damper lets the rear axle keep oscillating instead of settling.

Q: Will this fit my XJ, and does adaptive damping matter?

This is the passive sport damper for the Jaguar XJ (X308) 1997-2003, VIN 812317 to F59525. Cars built with adaptive control damping take a different unit, so check your VIN and specification before ordering.

Shock Absorber for the rear suspension, sport suspension specification.

The damper works alongside the rear road spring, converting suspension movement into heat so that wheel and body oscillation is brought under control and the tyre stays loaded against the road surface. It carries the firmer damping rate specified for the sport suspension. It is a passive unit; vehicles built with adaptive control damping take a different damper.

Two are fitted per vehicle. They are replaced as a pair so that damping stays balanced across the axle.
