FAQs
Do I need to buy two shock absorbers for the front axle?
Yes, it is highly recommended to replace shock absorbers in pairs on the same axle. This ensures balanced damping, optimal vehicle handling, and even tire wear.
What does 'twin-tube gas pressure' mean for a shock absorber?
A twin-tube shock absorber has two tubes: an inner working tube and an outer reservoir tube. The gas pressure helps to prevent the oil inside from foaming under strenuous use, ensuring consistent damping performance.
How do I know if my shock absorbers need replacing?
Signs include excessive bouncing, a rough ride, visible fluid leaks, reduced handling stability, pulling to one side, or uneven tire wear.
What is the construction year compatibility for this shock absorber?
This shock absorber is compatible with vehicles up to November 2009, December 2009, November 2014, and April 2015, depending on the specific vehicle model and its production updates.
Can I use this shock absorber for vehicles with standard suspension and bad road versions?
Yes, this shock absorber is designed to be suitable for vehicles with a standard suspension setup as well as those configured for 'bad road' conditions.
What does OE number compatibility mean?
OE (Original Equipment) number compatibility means that this SACHS shock absorber is designed to directly replace a part that was originally fitted by the vehicle manufacturer, indicated by specific OE part numbers.
Is this shock absorber for the left or right side?
This specific part number, SACHS 315 013, is for the Front Right shock absorber only.
Troubleshooting
Vehicle pulling to one side
This could indicate a worn shock absorber on one side or an alignment issue. Ensure both front shock absorbers are functioning correctly and consider a professional wheel alignment.
Excessive bouncing after hitting bumps
Worn shock absorbers lose their damping ability. Replace the affected shock absorber and inspect the corresponding shock on the same axle.
Visible fluid leaks on the shock absorber body
Fluid leaks indicate internal seal failure. The shock absorber must be replaced immediately.
Clunking or knocking noises from the suspension
This could be a sign of a worn shock absorber, loose mounting hardware, or other suspension component issues. Professional inspection is recommended.
