Product Information

Full details

The Monroe Original Shock Absorber (G1118) is designed for owners of Citroën Berlingo and Peugeot Partner vehicles who want to restore factory-level handling and ride comfort. This rear shock absorber utilizes advanced gas-pressure technology to provide superior control and road-holding stability. While it is built for durability and precise fitment, users should note that for optimal suspension geometry and to meet warranty requirements, these units must be replaced in pairs rather than as a single component.

FAQs

Can I replace just one shock absorber?

No, it is highly recommended and often required for warranty purposes to replace shock absorbers in pairs to maintain balanced suspension dynamics.

What vehicles are compatible with the G1118?

The G1118 is designed specifically for rear fitment on Citroën Berlingo and Peugeot Partner models.

Is this a gas or oil-filled shock?

This is a high-quality gas-pressure shock absorber, which helps reduce oil aeration for consistent performance.

Does this shock come with new mounting hardware?

The G1118 is a direct-fit unit; however, it is standard practice to inspect existing hardware and replace it if it shows signs of rust or wear.

How often should I replace these shocks?

While there is no fixed interval, most manufacturers recommend inspecting suspension components every 20,000 miles and replacing them if performance degrades.

Troubleshooting

Vehicle feels bouncy or unstable after installation

Check that all mounting bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications and ensure the shocks were installed as a pair.

Visible fluid leaking from the shock body

A small amount of misting can be normal, but if fluid is dripping, the unit may have a failed seal and should be inspected for replacement.

Clunking noise heard from the rear suspension

Inspect the rubber bushings and mounting hardware to ensure they are fully seated and tightened correctly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Restores original vehicle handling and ride quality
  • High-quality gas-pressure system reduces fade
  • Precise direct-fit design simplifies installation
  • Robust construction for long-term reliability

  • Must be replaced in pairs to ensure even suspension performance
  • Limited to specific Citroën and Peugeot models
  • Requires professional installation equipment for safety

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This shock absorber is compatible exclusively with Citroën Berlingo and Peugeot Partner rear suspension systems.

  1. Installation: Professional installation is strongly recommended as the process involves compressing suspension springs and working with vehicle undercarriage components. Ensure the vehicle is properly supported on jack stands before beginning.
  2. Replacement Strategy: Always replace shocks in pairs (left and right) on the same axle to maintain balanced damping characteristics.
  3. Care: Periodically inspect the shock absorber for signs of oil leakage or physical damage to the casing. Keep the piston rod free of road grime and debris to prevent premature seal failure. No internal maintenance or oil changes are required for this sealed unit.
