Product Information

Full details

The SACHS 900 313 Rubber Buffer is an essential suspension component designed for Ford KA (RU8) owners seeking to restore factory-level handling and vehicle stability. This premium-grade buffer serves as a critical contact point for the rear axle suspension system, effectively absorbing impact and preventing mechanical damage to surrounding shock components. While it offers significant improvements in ride quality and safety, it is important to note that this part is specifically engineered for rear axle applications and may not be compatible with modified or aftermarket sport suspension setups.

FAQs

Can I install this on the front suspension?

No, the SACHS 900 313 is specifically designed for the rear axle of the Ford KA (RU8).

Should I replace these buffers in pairs?

Yes, it is highly recommended to replace suspension components on both the left and right sides simultaneously to ensure even wear and balanced vehicle handling.

Does this part include the shock absorber?

No, this is a rubber buffer only. It works in conjunction with your shock absorber but does not replace the shock unit itself.

How do I know if my buffer is worn out?

Perform a visual inspection; if the rubber is split, crumbling, or completely compressed to the point of being flat, it requires replacement.

Is this part compatible with a 2017 Ford KA?

No, this part is compatible with Ford KA (RU8) models produced between 2008 and 2016.

Troubleshooting

Clunking or knocking noise from the rear suspension over bumps

The current buffer may be disintegrated or missing; inspect the rear shock assembly and replace the buffer if it is worn or absent.

Excessive vibration felt in the cabin while driving

Hardened or damaged rubber buffers fail to isolate road vibrations; inspect and replace the units to restore ride comfort.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Direct OEM replacement for easy installation
  • High-quality rubber compound resists environmental degradation
  • Essential for restoring original vehicle comfort and handling
  • Effectively shields expensive suspension components from impact damage

Cons

  • Compatibility limited specifically to Ford KA (RU8) models
  • Requires rear suspension disassembly for access
  • Not intended for use with non-standard or lowered sport suspensions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This component is designed exclusively for the rear axle of the Ford KA (RU8) produced from 2008 to 2016. Installation requires knowledge of suspension work, as you must safely raise the vehicle, remove the rear wheel, and compress the suspension spring or unbolt the shock assembly to slide the buffer into place. We recommend inspecting these buffers every 30,000 to 50,000 miles, or whenever you notice clunking sounds from the rear of the car. Always check the buffer for signs of perishing, hardening, or splitting. If the rubber shows cracks, it can no longer provide the necessary compression dampening and should be replaced in pairs to ensure balanced handling across the rear axle.
