Land Rover Part Number: STC3772 - Rear Shock Absorber
STC3772 is a rear shock absorber fitted to the rear suspension of Defender 110 (Heavy Duty) and Defender 130 (Standard Duty) models from 1997 to 1998, applied between VIN VA998900 and VIN WA159806. The damper controls vertical wheel movement by converting suspension kinetic energy into heat through hydraulic damping and is mounted between the rear axle assembly and the vehicle body to reduce oscillation after bumps and help the axle settle more quickly. This part is specified for heavy-duty rear suspension on 110 wheelbase Defenders and for standard-duty rear suspension on 130 wheelbase Defenders within the stated VIN range; replacement should match the original duty rating to retain intended rear suspension behaviour. Regular inspection for fluid leaks, physical damage and worn mounting bushes is recommended, as a failed or worn damper can allow prolonged bounce, reduced wheel contact on rough surfaces and uneven tyre wear. Use the compatibility data below to confirm fitment against your V.I.N.
