Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC4233 shock absorber used for?

The RTC4233 is a rear telescopic hydraulic shock absorber that damps spring oscillation on the rear axle. It fits between the chassis mounting and the rear axle, controlling vertical wheel movement to keep the tyre in contact with the road. It's specified for the heavy-duty Series 2 and 3 109-inch One Ton rear axle.

How many rear shock absorbers should I fit at once?

Rear shock absorbers are typically replaced as a pair. Fitting both sides together keeps damping balanced across the rear axle, as a worn unit on one side accelerates wear on its partner. For a full rear axle refresh you'll typically need two.

What are the signs a rear shock absorber needs replacing?

Signs include fluid leaking down the body of the shock, a bouncy or floaty ride, excessive body roll, and uneven tyre wear. A failed damper lets the rear axle keep oscillating after bumps, which reduces grip and stability under load. Compare both sides, as damping drops gradually.

Which cross-reference numbers match the RTC4233?

The RTC4233 cross-references to GSA41250, 804390, 508043 and GDA1016. These are equivalent part numbers for the same One Ton rear shock absorber, useful for confirming you've matched the correct damper if your old unit carries a different supplier code.
