Brand Girling
Shock Absorber for the front suspension - an oil-filled, heavy-duty hydraulic damper.

Mounted between the axle and the chassis, it damps the oscillation of the road spring and controls wheel movement over uneven surfaces, limiting body roll and helping maintain tyre contact with the road. The hydraulic action is produced by forcing oil through internal valving as the unit extends and compresses. This is the heavy-duty oil-filled specification, suited to harder use and heavier loads.

Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC4484 front shock absorber?
The RTC4484 is a heavy-duty oil-filled front shock absorber. It damps the front axle to control ride and keep the wheels planted. This Girling unit fits the front position on long-wheelbase Land Rover Series 2A and 3 models and the Defender 110.
How many front shocks do I need?
There are two front shock absorbers, one per side. Replace them as a pair so both sides damp evenly, so order two for a complete front set. A single new shock alongside a worn one can leave the front axle handling unevenly.
Which models use this front oil-filled shock?
This heavy-duty oil-filled shock typically fits Land Rover Series 2A and 3 in 109 inch and 107 inch long-wheelbase form, front position, and the Defender 110 front. Check your model and axle position before ordering. Cross-references include RTC4483, GDA1020 and GSA196.
How do I know the front shocks are worn?
Worn front shocks usually cause a bouncy ride, nose dive under braking, poor control over bumps, or oil weeping down the shock body. On a long-wheelbase Series or Defender 110 this affects steering stability. Front shocks are replaced in pairs once damping fades.
