Shock Absorber A rear suspension damper of foam cell (cellular dynamic) construction. It mounts between the axle and the chassis to control spring oscillation and wheel movement, keeping the tyre in contact with the road.

The foam cell design uses a nitrogen-charged cellular insert in place of a conventional pressurised gas chamber. As the piston displaces oil, the cellular foam compensates for the change in volume and resists aeration and foaming of the damper oil under sustained or heavy use, reducing fade during prolonged articulation and off-road work. Built to standard ride height.

Frequently asked questions

What is the DC6011 foam cell shock absorber and what does it do?
The DC6011 is a rear suspension shock absorber for the Land Rover Discovery 2 (1998-2004). It mounts between the rear axle and chassis to control spring oscillation and wheel movement, keeping the tyre in contact with the road. The foam cell design uses a nitrogen-charged cellular insert in place of a pressurised gas chamber.
Where does this shock absorber fit on the Discovery 2?
This shock absorber fits the rear suspension of the Discovery 2 (1998-2004), built to standard ride height. It suits vehicles running factory suspension rather than a raised or lifted setup. The front axle uses the matching DC6010 front foam cell shock.
How many DC6011 rear shocks are needed?
Two DC6011 rear shock absorbers are typically needed, since dampers are usually replaced in axle pairs to keep damping balanced. This code covers the rear axle only.
Why do rear foam cell shocks fail and when should they be replaced?
Rear shock absorbers wear as the internal oil and seals degrade, so damping fades gradually. Signs include a bouncy or wallowing rear end, poor load control, and uneven rear tyre wear. The foam cell design resists oil aeration and fade during sustained articulation and off-road work.
