Setup, Compatibility & Care
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.
