Know the part
Understanding Struts
A strut combines the shock absorber with a mounting for the coil spring, and forms part of the steering or suspension geometry. The Freelander, Evoque and Discovery Sport use strut-type suspension on coil springs, while air-sprung Land Rovers use an air strut that combines an air spring with a damper.
This category covers coil-spring strut assemblies and their top mounts. For air struts, see the air springs category.

Questions
Common Questions About Land Rover struts
Should I buy a complete strut assembly or just the damper?
A complete assembly with spring and top mount is quicker to fit and avoids compressing springs, which needs the right tools. Buying the damper alone makes sense if your springs and mounts are in good condition.
Do I need an alignment after replacing struts?
Yes. Removing a strut can change the camber and toe settings, so have the wheel alignment checked afterwards.
Should I replace top mounts with struts?
It is good practice, particularly on a higher-mileage vehicle. Worn top mounts and bearings cause knocks and creaks that new struts will not fix.
What do I need to order struts for a Freelander or Evoque?
Send the VIN. Strut specifications can vary with engine, wheel size and whether the vehicle has adaptive dampers.
