Frequently asked questions

What is the front ACE shock absorber for the Discovery 2?
The front ACE shock absorber is a hydraulic damper for the Discovery 2 (1998-2004) front suspension, working with the front coil springs. It's specific to vehicles fitted with ACE (Active Cornering Enhancement), the hydraulic active anti-roll system, and the damper is matched to that setup.
What's the difference between the ACE and non-ACE front shock absorber?
The ACE front shock absorber is valved for the Discovery 2's Active Cornering Enhancement system and isn't interchangeable with the non-ACE damper. Fitting the wrong one upsets damping. Check whether your Discovery 2 has ACE before ordering, as the two versions aren't cross-compatible.
What are the signs the front shock absorber needs replacing?
Excess body float, nose dive under braking and uneven front tyre wear are typical signs the front ACE damper is worn on a Discovery 2. A tired shock lets the front suspension oscillate instead of settling. Fluid weeping from the damper body is another common sign.
Should front shock absorbers be replaced in pairs?
Replacing front shock absorbers as an axle pair is standard practice on the Discovery 2, so damping stays balanced side to side. A new damper on one side and a worn one on the other pulls handling unevenly, especially with the ACE system managing body roll.
