Frequently asked questions

What does the TF131 front shock absorber do?
The TF131 front shock absorber is a Terrafirma hydraulic damper that controls vertical wheel movement on the front axle, stabilising the coil spring through compression and rebound. It fits between the front axle housing and the chassis mounting point on the Land Rover Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic. It's set for standard suspension travel.
How many TF131 shocks are needed for the front of a Defender?
You'll typically need two TF131 front shock absorbers for a Defender, one for each side of the front axle. Front dampers are usually changed as a pair so both sides match and the handling stays even. They're sold individually, so order two to refresh the whole front end.
What are the symptoms of worn front shocks on a Defender or Discovery 1?
Worn front shocks on a Defender, Discovery 1 or Range Rover Classic typically show as excessive bounce after bumps, body roll in corners, nose dive when braking and oil weeping from the damper. A tired front damper usually lets the axle move unchecked and reduces grip off road. Replace in pairs.
