Front Shock Absorber - part of the front suspension damping assembly.

The damper is mounted between the front axle and its chassis bracket and works with the front road spring to control axle oscillation, keeping the tyre loaded and the body settled over uneven ground. A worn unit typically shows as float or wallow after a bump, nose dive under braking and uneven tyre wear.

This is the damper specification listed for chassis built with air suspension; vehicles on conventional coil-sprung suspension or with Active Cornering Enhancement (ACE) take a different damper. Dampers are fitted one per side and should be renewed as an axle pair so damping stays balanced left to right.

Frequently asked questions

What is the RNB000270 front shock absorber for?
The RNB000270 is a front shock absorber (damper) for the Discovery 2 fitted with air suspension. It controls front wheel movement and damps the spring, keeping the front axle stable over bumps and under braking.
How many front shocks do I need for a Discovery 2?
You'll need two, one for each front corner of the Discovery 2. This RNB000270 is sold individually. Replacing dampers in axle pairs keeps braking and handling even, since a worn shock on one side unbalances the front end.
What are the symptoms of a worn front shock absorber?
Worn front shocks on the Discovery 2 typically cause nose dive under braking, floating or bouncing over bumps, and uneven front tyre wear. Damping fades as the oil seal wears, so the front end feels loose and vague.
Does the RNB000270 fit my Discovery 2?
The RNB000270 fits the Discovery 2 with air suspension from VIN 3A000000 onward. Confirm your vehicle has front air suspension and check the VIN break, since earlier builds and coil-sprung cars use different front dampers.
