Purpose and Fitment

The presented rear right shock absorber has been specifically designed for the Land Rover Freelander 2 L359 model, taking into account the suspension geometry and vehicle weight. Its placement on the vehicle is the rear axle on the right side, allowing for precise fitting to the factory mounting points and the original spring.

The original Land Rover construction guarantees compliance with the factory suspension operating parameters, which translates into predictable vehicle behavior during braking, acceleration, and driving over uneven surfaces.

Technical Characteristics of the Shock Absorber

The shock absorber is part of the components responsible for damping vibrations and controlling wheel movement relative to the body. The applied operating characteristics ensure:

• maintaining constant tire contact with the road surface,
• reducing body roll during load changes,
• stable vehicle behavior in corners,
• more predictable steering system responses.

Thanks to its tailored fit for the Freelander 2 L359 model, the shock absorber works with the original suspension components, maintaining factory ride comfort and an appropriate level of vehicle control.

Condition, Origin, and Benefits of Choosing a Used Part

This item comes from the Land Rover offering and is classified as a used part. This means real cost savings while maintaining original construction and vehicle fitment. For many users, this is a sensible compromise between price and quality, especially for suspension components where maintaining factory operating parameters is crucial.

Choosing an original, used shock absorber helps avoid problems with imprecise fitment that can occur with some aftermarket parts. This solution is particularly attractive for those who want to maintain the integrity of the running gear with the factory specification.
