Rear Shock Absorber - hydraulic damper unit in the rear suspension assembly, working alongside the rear coil spring and its upper mounting to control body movement.

The damper resists spring oscillation after the wheel travels over an obstacle, keeping the tyre in contact with the road surface and controlling body roll, pitch and rebound. It locates between the axle-side lower mounting and the upper mounting in the body, and is a wearing item whose deterioration is gradual - decline in damping is usually noticed as float over undulations, increased nose dive under braking, or uneven tyre wear.

Specified for the passive, non-adaptive damping configuration; it is not intended for installations using electronically controlled adaptive damping. Replace in pairs across the axle so damping stays balanced side to side.

Frequently asked questions

What is the RPD500940R rear shock absorber?
The RPD500940R is a rear shock absorber (damper) for the Range Rover L322 without adaptive damping. It controls the rear axle on less-armoured models, working with the air springs to manage ride and body movement.
How do I know if I need the non-adaptive rear damper?
Fit the RPD500940R only on a Range Rover L322 without Adaptive Damping. Cars with adaptive dampers use electronically controlled units and a different part. Check whether your L322 has adaptive damping before ordering, since the wrong rear shock affects ride control.
How many rear shocks does an L322 take?
Two, one per rear corner of the Range Rover L322. This RPD500940R is sold individually. Replacing both rear dampers together keeps handling even, since a worn shock on one side unbalances the rear axle.
Does the RPD500940R fit my Range Rover L322?
The RPD500940R fits the Range Rover L322 from 2002 to 2012, less armoured. 2002-2009 covers the 4.4 V8 and 4.2 supercharged to VIN 7A249758; 2010-2012 covers the 5.0 V8 from VIN AA000001. Check your VIN and engine.
