Land Rover Part Number: STC3703 - Front Shock Absorber
STC3703 is a front shock absorber fitted to the front suspension of Discovery 1 vehicles. The unit controls vertical wheel movement and dampens spring oscillations; as a hydraulic damper it converts kinetic energy from suspension movement into heat to reduce rebound and compression oscillations. Correct damping helps maintain tyre contact with the road and limits excessive body movement during cornering, braking and acceleration. This part fits both left and right hand sides and replaces part numbers RTC6360, STC286, STC1635 and STC2846; installation typically involves removal of the top mount and the lower attachment to the suspension arm, with torque and alignment requirements to be followed from the vehicle workshop manual.
