Frequently asked questions

What is the Rear Step Shock Absorber (KVL100040)?
The Rear Step Shock Absorber KVL100040 is a gas-charged strut that damps and controls the retractable rear step as it deploys and retracts. It replaces a weak or failed original unit. Fitted to the Land Rover Discovery 2, 1998-2004.
Which Discovery does the KVL100040 rear step strut fit?
The KVL100040 gas strut fits the rear step assembly on the Land Rover Discovery 2, 1998-2004, from VIN 1A298103. Confirm your Discovery 2 has the retractable rear step and check your VIN against the 1A298103 break before ordering.
What are the signs the rear step strut needs replacing?
A tired KVL100040 strut typically lets the Discovery 2 rear step drop under its own weight or deploy slowly, as the gas charge weakens over time. If the step no longer holds position or feels loose, the strut has usually lost its damping.
