Product Information

Full details

The SACHS 900 157 Shock Absorber Dust Cover Kit is an essential maintenance component designed for vehicle owners looking to extend the lifespan of their front suspension system. It is ideal for DIY mechanics and professional technicians working on Ford, Mazda, and Volvo platforms who need to replace worn-out dust boots and bump stops to prevent contamination and bottoming out. While the kit provides high-quality protection against road debris and moisture, it requires precise installation on the front axle and cannot be used on rear suspension assemblies.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this on the rear suspension?

No, this kit is specifically engineered for front axle shock absorbers and will not fit rear suspension designs.

Do I need special tools to install this?

Yes, you will need a coil spring compressor to safely remove the spring and access the shock rod where the bump stop and gaiter reside.

Does this kit include shock absorbers?

No, this is a protection kit consisting only of dust gaiters and bump stops; the shock absorbers must be purchased separately.

How do I know if my dust covers are worn out?

Visually inspect them for cracks, tears, or signs of missing material. If the shock absorber rod appears dirty or oily, the covers are likely no longer providing an adequate seal.

Are these parts identical to the ones that came with the car?

Yes, SACHS is a leading OEM supplier, and the 900 157 kit is manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment performance standards.

Troubleshooting

Gaiter keeps slipping off the seat

Ensure the groove on the dust cover is clean and seated correctly in the strut housing or upper mount; use a light automotive-safe adhesive if the mounting surface is degraded.

Strange knocking noise after installation

Check that the bump stop is seated correctly and that the top mount nut is torqued to the vehicle manufacturer's specification.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Protects sensitive suspension seals from debris
  • Prevents shock bottoming with high-density bump stops
  • Direct OEM-style fitment for front axle applications
  • Durable materials resistant to weather and temperature fluctuations

Cons

  • Not compatible with rear suspension setups
  • Requires professional spring compression tools for safe installation
  • Only covers specific Ford, Mazda, and Volvo platforms

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This kit is designed specifically for the front axle of selected vehicles, including:

  • Ford: Focus series, C-Max, and Kuga
  • Mazda: Mazda 3 and Mazda 5
  • Volvo: S40 II and V50

Installation Note: Replacing these components requires removing the front strut assembly and using a spring compressor. Always ensure the spring is securely restrained before removing the top nut. Once installed, verify that the gaiter is fully seated in its upper and lower grooves to ensure a complete seal. Periodically inspect the gaiters during routine oil changes to ensure they remain intact and have not become brittle or torn due to road hazards.
