Shock Absorber for the rear axle, damping suspension movement by converting the energy of spring oscillation into heat as the axle moves relative to the chassis.

The damper mounts between the rear axle and the chassis, controlling wheel movement to maintain tyre contact and ride stability. This is an oil-filled rear unit to heavy-duty specification.

Frequently asked questions

What does the rear shock absorber do?
The rear shock absorber damps suspension movement on the rear axle. This oil-filled unit converts spring oscillation into heat as the axle moves against the chassis, keeping the tyres planted and controlling body movement over rough ground.
How many rear shock absorbers do I need?
This rear shock absorber is sold individually. You'll typically replace both rear units together so damping is even across the axle. Mixing a new shock with a worn one on the other side can upset ride balance.
Which models does this rear shock fit?
This heavy-duty rear shock absorber fits the Series 1 (86 and 88 inch), Series 2 and 2A (86 and 88 inch) and Series 3 (88 inch). It's the rear axle damper for these short-wheelbase Series vehicles.
What are the signs a rear shock is worn?
Worn rear shock absorbers typically cause excessive bouncing after bumps, poor control when the vehicle is loaded, and uneven rear tyre wear. Visible oil leaking from the shock body is another common indicator it needs replacing.
