FAQs

What vehicles is the SACHS 900 081 kit compatible with?

This kit is designed for front axles of specific PEUGEOT models (e.g., 308 SW I, 307, PARTNER Tepee, 308 I, 3008) and CITROËN models (e.g., BERLINGO, C4 Picasso I, C4 Grand Picasso I, C4 I, C4 II). Always confirm your exact vehicle details against the product's compatibility list.

What is the piston rod diameter for this kit?

The SACHS 900 081 kit is designed for shock absorbers with a 20mm piston rod diameter.

What components are included in this service kit?

The kit typically includes bump stops, bump rubbers, shock absorber boots, shock absorber gaiters, and dust cover kits.

Do I need to replace my shock absorbers when using this kit?

No, this kit is a supplementary service kit. It provides protective components to replace worn or damaged parts on your existing shock absorbers, not the shock absorbers themselves.

Can I install this kit myself?

Installation requires specialized tools and automotive knowledge. It is best performed by a qualified mechanic to ensure safety and proper function.

How often should I check my shock absorber boots?

It is advisable to visually inspect your shock absorber boots for any signs of wear or damage during regular vehicle maintenance checks, such as tire rotations or brake inspections.

What happens if I don't replace a damaged dust cover?

A damaged dust cover allows dirt, water, and debris to enter the shock absorber assembly. This contamination can quickly damage the piston rod and seals, leading to leaks, reduced performance, and premature failure of the shock absorber.

Troubleshooting

Kit components do not fit shock absorber.

Double-check the vehicle compatibility list and confirm the piston rod diameter matches your shock absorber (20mm). Ensure the correct component from the kit is being applied to the correct part of the shock absorber.

Reduced shock absorber performance after installation.

Verify that all components were installed correctly and are not binding. Ensure no protective coverings were left on the shock absorber itself and that the installation did not inadvertently damage the shock absorber.

Noise from the front suspension.

Check that all suspension components, including the newly installed dust cover kit, are securely fastened. Rattling or clunking could indicate loose parts or that the kit was not installed correctly.

  • Helps extend the lifespan of shock absorbers by preventing damage from contaminants.
  • Cost-effective solution compared to replacing entire shock absorber assemblies.
  • Includes multiple protective elements for thorough coverage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Before purchasing, verify that your vehicle's make, model, year, and specific trim level are listed in the product's compatibility information. Pay close attention to the piston rod diameter (20mm) and ensure it matches your existing shock absorbers.

Setup: Installation requires removing the front wheels and carefully disassembling the strut assembly to access the shock absorber. The kit components (bump stop, gaiter, dust cover) should be installed sequentially onto the shock absorber piston rod. It is highly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified mechanic or someone with automotive repair experience, as improper installation can lead to component failure or safety issues.

Care: Once installed, these components require minimal direct care. Regular visual inspection of the dust boots during routine maintenance can help identify any new tears or damage. Keep the surrounding suspension area clean to prevent excessive dirt buildup.
