Gas pressure helps to prevent the oil inside the shock absorber from foaming under stress, ensuring consistent damping performance and reducing the risk of shock fade, especially during repeated impacts.
It is compatible with specific models of OPEL Vectra C (Caravan, Limousine, CC) and Signum CC, as well as VAUXHALL Vectra Mk II (C) (CC, Limousine, Kombi) and Signum.

Important: Ensure your vehicle is *not* equipped with electronic suspension control, as this shock absorber is not compatible.
Setup: Installation should ideally be performed by a qualified mechanic. It is crucial to replace shock absorbers in pairs (left and right) on the same axle to ensure balanced handling and safety. Always consult your vehicle's service manual for specific installation procedures. Recommended accessories include MK208, MK342, and PK164.
Care: Shock absorbers are generally maintenance-free components. However, periodic visual inspections for leaks (fluid stains on the shock body) or physical damage are recommended. Ensure the mounting bolts are kept clean and free of excessive corrosion.
