This Monroe Shock Absorber (G8225) is designed for owners of select Peugeot 208 I and DS 3 models, particularly those equipped with automatic transmissions and specific RPO numbers. It offers enhanced ride comfort and stability by utilizing a gas pressure, twin-tube suspension strut design. A potential caveat is its specific fitment range, requiring verification of your vehicle's RPO number and construction year.

This shock absorber is compatible with Peugeot 208 I (CA_, CC_), 208 Kastenwagen (CR_), DS 3, and DS 3 Cabriolet models, specifically for the front axle right side, up to construction year 09/2014, with RPO numbers from 13174 to 13838, and for vehicles with automatic transmission.
Gas pressure shock absorbers use nitrogen gas to prevent oil foaming under heavy use, leading to more consistent damping performance and a smoother ride compared to traditional oil-filled units.
Yes, it is strongly recommended to replace shock absorbers in pairs (left and right) on the same axle to ensure balanced handling and stability.
The twin-tube design consists of two tubes: an inner tube containing the piston and rod, and an outer tube that holds additional hydraulic fluid and gas. This design is robust and offers good performance for many applications.
RPO (Regular Production Option) numbers are codes used by manufacturers to identify specific options or features equipped on a vehicle from the factory. They are crucial for ensuring correct part fitment.
Installation requires proper torque settings for all mounting bolts. It's advisable to consult a professional mechanic or refer to a service manual for detailed instructions. Recommended accessories are MK509 and PK410.
Check if the shock absorber is correctly installed and tightened. Ensure the correct part number for your vehicle's specifications is used. Worn suspension components elsewhere could also contribute; consider a full suspension inspection.
Verify that all mounting hardware is securely tightened. Inspect for any contact between suspension components or the shock absorber and other parts of the vehicle.
A leaking shock absorber needs immediate replacement. Continued use can compromise vehicle safety and handling.
Compatibility: This shock absorber (G8225) is specifically designed for the front axle right side of Peugeot 208 I (CA_, CC_) and 208 Kastenwagen (CR_) vehicles, as well as DS 3 and DS 3 Cabriolet models. Crucially, verify your vehicle's RPO numbers are within the range of 13174 to 13838 and that its construction year is up to 09/2014. It is also designated for vehicles with automatic transmission and specific suspension types (4, 5).
Setup: Installation requires removing the old shock absorber assembly and installing the new Monroe unit. Proper torque specifications for mounting bolts must be followed. It is highly recommended to replace shock absorbers in pairs (left and right) for balanced performance. Recommended accessories include MK509 and PK410.
Care: Shock absorbers are a sealed unit and do not require user maintenance. However, regular visual inspection for leaks or physical damage is advisable during routine vehicle checks. Keep the exposed piston rod clean from dirt and debris to prevent seal damage.
