Front Shock Absorber - part of the front suspension damping assembly.

Mounted between the front axle and its chassis bracket, the damper works with the front road spring to control axle oscillation and body movement, keeping the tyre loaded over uneven ground. Symptoms of a worn unit are float or wallow after a bump, nose dive under braking and cupped tyre wear.

This is the damper specification for coil-sprung / self-levelling chassis without air suspension and without Active Cornering Enhancement (ACE). Vehicles built with air suspension, or with ACE, take a different damper and the two are not interchangeable. Fit one per side and renew as an axle pair so damping stays balanced left to right.

Frequently asked questions

What is the front shock absorber on a Discovery 2?
The front shock absorber on the Discovery 2 is the damper mounted between the front axle and its chassis bracket. It works with the front road spring to control axle oscillation and body movement, keeping the tyre loaded over uneven ground. This is the specification for coil-sprung, self-levelling chassis without air suspension and without ACE.
How do I know this is the right damper for my Discovery 2?
This damper suits Discovery 2 vehicles built without air suspension and without Active Cornering Enhancement (ACE), within VIN range XA237290 to 2A999999. Vehicles with air suspension or ACE take a different, non-interchangeable damper. Confirm your build specification and VIN before ordering to avoid fitting the wrong unit.
How many front shock absorbers do I need for a Discovery 2?
Two front shock absorbers are needed for a full Discovery 2 front axle, one per side. Fitting them as an axle pair keeps damping balanced left to right. Replacing only one typically leaves uneven damping, which shows as float or wallow after a bump and nose dive under braking.
