Replacement Interval

Replacement is recommended every 80,000–100,000 km or when symptoms appear.

Always replace shock absorbers in pairs on the same axle — uneven wear causes the vehicle to pull to one side under braking.

Signs of Worn Shock Absorbers

  • Body nose-dives under braking, bounces on bumps
  • Knocking, squeaking or vague feeling through corners
  • Increased stopping distance by 10–15%
  • Uneven tyre wear (flat spots, cupping)
  • Oil leaks visible on the shock absorber body

FAQ

Which shock absorbers should I choose for Land Rover Discovery Sport L550?

For standard use: Sachs Sachs 315 851 or Monroe Monroe G8241 — OE-level quality at a fair price. For improved handling: Bilstein Bilstein 24-240001.

Should shock absorbers always be replaced in pairs?

Yes — always replace both shock absorbers on the same axle. A difference in condition between left and right causes instability under braking and in corners.

Do I need to replace the springs when fitting new shock absorbers on Land Rover Discovery Sport L550?

Springs are replaced separately, only when visibly damaged (cracks, sagging, breakage). They are not replaced as routine preventive maintenance.
