Frequently asked questions

What is the TF482 rear shock absorber and what does it do?
The TF482 is a rear shock absorber that damps the rear suspension, valved for a +2" raised ride height. It controls how fast the suspension compresses and rebounds. It offers 8-stage adjustable damping and a remote reservoir that separates the extra gas and oil from the main body to resist fade off-road.
Which Land Rovers does the TF482 rear shock fit?
The TF482 rear shock absorber fits the Defender (1987-2016), Discovery 1 (1989-1998) and Range Rover Classic. It's valved for a +2" lift, so it's intended for a raised vehicle rather than one at standard ride height.
What does the 8-stage adjustable damping on the TF482 do?
The 8-stage adjustable damping on the TF482 lets you tune how firm the rear shock feels, between a softer setting for comfort and a firmer one for load or fast off-road work. It's set by hand on the unit, so you can match the damping to how the vehicle is used.
When should the TF482 rear shock be replaced?
A rear shock like the TF482 usually needs replacing when it leaks oil, the back end wallows or bounces, or the vehicle recovers slowly over bumps. Worn rear dampers let the axle move uncontrolled, reducing stability and accelerating tyre wear on Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic.
