Hi guys,
Here is a link to a discussion on D3.co.uk about the swinging dampers. Has a bit of information and a link to some theory. I did think there was one on each corner (4) but I will now have to check since it may not be. :(

I just removed mine to save weight off the rear axle for towing. Will see if there is any noticeable effect, cant see it being so compared to the roads we drive on.
32 Kg ! which at the rear axle, appx 1m so 42kg off the axle (x1.34) off the axle which is significant. at about 8% tow ball weight your looking at being able to add another 350kg+ of payload to your van (assuming you stay under GCM & GVM)
My 2010 L320 it was just 4 bolts and the weights dropped off.
Literally googling for land rover gonads returns results for these threads ! I desexed my car, no truck nuts....
Will be interesting to hear if it makes any noticeable difference, I would be very happy to remove another 40kg off the rear of mineQuote:
