Detailed Description

SK-5165 is an Arnott-designed rear shock for the Land Rover Discovery (L462 chassis) without VDS. The monotube construction and custom-tuned damper are engineered to provide smooth ride control and dependable handling response. As a rear shock absorber for the Discovery, SK-5165 is a direct-fit replacement for the specified rear application and is assembled with application-specific mounting components.

This part cross-references Land Rover OE numbers LR081568 and LR095865 for the same application. The SK-5165 also aligns with the rear shock requirements for Discovery models in the 2017-2025 range, making it a focused replacement option for this platform.

What It Helps Solve

• Excessive rear suspension bounce or oscillation.
• Reduced ride control from worn shock damping.
• Noisy or degraded rear suspension mounting points.
• Loss of damping consistency on rough or uneven roads.
• Ride quality issues on Discovery models without adaptive damping.

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2017-2025 Land Rover Discovery, rear. Confirm the vehicle is equipped without adaptive damping before ordering. Verify the L462 chassis application and compare the existing shock mounting style to the SK-5165 specifications, including the special upper mount and loop bushing lower mount. The included dust cover and mounts support a complete replacement approach for the rear shock location.
