GL1058 - Gwyn Lewis Rear Challenge Shock Mount - Single Position - Comes as a Pair including Re-Locators - For Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic

These Rear Shock Mounts are our challenge suspension top shock mounts, they are GALVANIZED to prolong life, they are designed for our 11 inch travel + 5.5 inch (challenge) Pin/Pin fixing shocks, they provide long travel suspension and ride quality for off road applications, the shocks required are a + 5.5 inch, 11 inch travel, by using the Pin on the top mount there is more movement in all directions, the trouble with the standard Eye top mount is it can move front to back, but sideways movement is restricted and causes the Eye to brake off when longer shocks are fitted, the rear shock mounts are moved forward and upwards to allow room for the longer shock length, this allows the spring to compress on full upward travel, upward travel is more important than drop out as you want your wheel to move upwards to get over obstacles, but this mount also gives a lot of downward movement as well, keeping your wheels on the ground at all times helps on traction and takes the pressure off the drive train.

On newer rear axles you will have 4 shock bush cup washers on the axle shock mount, you must remove these 4 cup washers as they will restrict the shock movement and can cause the shock lower pin to brake off, they are held on with 4 spot welds and must be removed, when we supply shocks we supply new cup washers to replace them, this is very important.

A Fuel filter remount kit will be required for Defender 90,110,130 Td5 and Puma.
