Frequently asked questions

What does the RNB103683 front shock absorber do?
The RNB103683 front shock absorber damps movement of the front suspension, working with the front coil springs to control wheel and axle motion on the Discovery 2. It's the damper unit matched to vehicles fitted with ACE.
What's the difference between the ACE and non-ACE front shock absorber?
This is the ACE (Active Cornering Enhancement) front damper, matched to the Discovery 2's hydraulic active anti-roll system. It isn't interchangeable with the non-ACE unit. Check whether your vehicle has ACE before ordering, as fitting the wrong damper upsets handling.
What are the signs a front shock absorber needs replacing?
Typical signs include a bouncy or floaty ride, uneven tyre wear, nose-dive under braking, and fluid weeping from the damper body. On ACE-equipped Discovery 2s, worn dampers also upset the anti-roll system's control. Shocks are usually replaced in axle pairs.
Which vehicles does this front shock absorber fit?
This front shock absorber fits the Land Rover Discovery 2 with ACE, up to VIN 2A999999. Confirm your vehicle is ACE-equipped and check the VIN against this ceiling, since non-ACE and later-build vehicles take a different damper.
