Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Front Suspension Strut: OEM Part Number
| Standard (Passive) strut with coil spring | Confirmed by multiple parts suppliers as a genuinely different, non-interchangeable part from the Adaptive Dynamics strut below — front suspension on this model uses a conventional coil-spring strut regardless of trim, even where the rear has an air suspension option |
|---|---|
| Adaptive Dynamics (electronic/MagneRide) strut | A genuinely different, electronically controlled strut from the standard passive version — fitment guides explicitly warn these are not interchangeable, and fitting the wrong type won't work correctly with the vehicle's damping control |
| 17" front brake variants | Confirmed by parts suppliers as requiring a specific strut variant distinct from other brake sizes — brake package, not just engine or trim, can determine which strut fits |

It's also genuinely worth knowing a useful two-person diagnostic technique: with the engine running and handbrake on, turning the steering wheel back and forth while a second person observes the ball joints from underneath for play.
