FAQs

What vehicles is this shock absorber compatible with?

This shock absorber is designed as a replacement for specific DS and Peugeot models. It is crucial to use the vehicle compatibility tool or consult the listed OEM part numbers (DS: 9817007080; Peugeot: 5202YW, 9803128180) to confirm fitment for your exact vehicle make, model, and year.

What does 'Excel-G' series mean?

The 'Excel-G' series signifies that this shock absorber uses KYB's advanced twin-tube gas pressure technology, designed to provide consistent damping performance and improved vehicle control.

Can I install this shock absorber myself?

While possible for experienced DIYers, suspension work requires specialized tools and knowledge. For safety and optimal performance, professional installation by a qualified mechanic is highly recommended.

Do I need to replace both front shock absorbers?

Yes, it is standard practice and strongly recommended to replace shock absorbers in pairs on the same axle (both front left and front right, or both rear left and rear right) to ensure balanced handling and prevent uneven tire wear.

What is the mounting type for this shock absorber?

This shock absorber features a top pin mounting type, meaning the top of the shock absorber connects via a pin mechanism to the vehicle's chassis or strut mount.

Where is this shock absorber located on the vehicle?

This specific part number (3348012) is designed for the front right axle of compatible vehicles.

Troubleshooting

Vehicle handling feels unstable or bouncy

Ensure the shock absorber was installed correctly and is the correct part for your vehicle. Check for any leaks or damage to the unit. Consider replacing the paired shock absorber on the same axle if it is also worn.

Clunking or knocking noises from the front suspension

Verify that the shock absorber and all related mounting hardware are securely tightened. The noise could also indicate issues with other suspension components which should be inspected.

Visible fluid leaks from the shock absorber body

A fluid leak indicates seal failure. The shock absorber needs to be replaced immediately. Do not attempt to repair a leaking shock absorber.
