Troubleshooting

Vehicle handling feels unstable or bumpy

This could indicate worn shock absorbers. Ensure the Febi 20486 units are correctly installed and compatible with your vehicle. If issues persist after installation, consult a mechanic.

Visible leaks from the shock absorber body

Fluid leaks signify internal seal failure. The shock absorber will need to be replaced. Contact your supplier or a mechanic for replacement.

Difficulty fitting the shock absorber

Verify that you have the correct Febi part number (20486) for your vehicle and that it is being installed on the correct axle (front). Ensure no foreign objects or debris are obstructing the mounting points. Professional installation is advised.

Excessive noise during suspension travel

While shock absorbers themselves are designed to be quiet, noise could originate from associated suspension components or improper installation. Ensure all mounting bolts are torqued correctly. If noise persists, a professional inspection is recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup & Installation: These shock absorbers are designed for the front axle and feature top eye and bottom eye mounting types. It is crucial that these products are installed by a competent individual, such as a qualified mechanic. Due to their specific dimensions (Max Length: 705mm, Min Length: 435mm, Pipe Diameter: 50-60mm, Mounting Points Diameter: 20-24mm, Piston Conrod Diameter: 16mm), they should fit seamlessly into the original suspension mounting points. Note that these units are typically supplied without fitting instructions, emphasizing the need for professional installation.

Compatibility: To ensure correct fitment, always verify the part number `20486` against your vehicle's make, model, and year specifications. Cross-reference with the provided list (AUGER 20482, BOGE 40-D53-0 / 40-D83-0, DT Spare Parts 3.66537, KONI 88-1775, Magnum Technology M0101, MONROE T1321, PE Automotive 033.285-10A) to confirm compatibility with your original equipment part numbers.

Care: Shock absorbers are sealed units and generally require minimal user maintenance. However, regular visual inspections of the shock absorber body and mounting points for signs of leaks, damage, or corrosion are recommended. Ensure the surrounding suspension components are kept clean of excessive dirt and road salt, which can accelerate wear.
