Frequently asked questions

What does the RTC4234 front shock absorber do?
The RTC4234 is an oil-filled front shock absorber for Land Rover Series I, II and IIA. It mounts vertically between the axle and chassis to damp suspension movement and control body roll over rough ground. It's the heavy-duty front unit on 86/88 inch short wheelbase models.
Does the RTC4234 fit both short and long wheelbase Series models?
Yes. The RTC4234 is the heavy-duty front shock for 86/88 inch short wheelbase Series I, II and IIA, and it's also the standard-duty front unit on 107/109 inch long wheelbase variants. The same unit covers both, just rated differently by application.
Should front shock absorbers be replaced in pairs?
Front shock absorbers are usually best replaced as a pair so both sides damp evenly. Fitting one new RTC4234 against a worn opposite side can give uneven handling and pull on Series I, II and IIA. Order two to keep the front axle matched.
