Sachs Rear Shocks

[SMJJ]

Hi All,

One of my rear shocks is leaking so time to order a new pair, I've found these online: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/2519...rlsatarget=pla-146650302546&adtype=pla&crdt=0

Will these be ok or am I better off getting these from K-Tec http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2793

:blush:

Get the oe ones from ktec. Trophy rear Sachs are white/silver in colour and are much more expensive than that

Have you sought a price from a reputable Renault parts dealer?

I assume you don't need the Sachs rear dampers that have been made exclusively for the 182 Trophy?

are they easy enough to replace myself? i'm not the best when it comes to things like this.

This is probably the cheapest I've found so far http://www.renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/product/renault-clio-182-shock-absorber-rear/
No the Sashs aren't needed mate.

Hi all, sorry to hijack this thread but it seems relevant.

I bought two rear dampers from Renault Parts Direct (link below). They don't come with the top bump stops (as shown in the photo on the link) so i thought it would be easy enough to re-use my existing ones. However, i cant for the life of me work out how i remove the lower bump stop from the existing shaft? The end of the threadded damper shaft has two flats on it but the bump stop seems to be welded on or something?

Any tips? Should i just not be re-using them and buy some more, if so, where from?

Nope just pull harder.

10 years of corrosion and speedbumps/potholes will have absolutely rammed them on, but no they're not welded on or anything.

As for reusing, just inspect them for large cracks or tears particularly on the top and bottom surface (shine a torch up the dust cover).
