FAQs

Can I install just one G8649 on the front right?

While it is physically possible, it is not recommended. Monroe requires the shocks to be replaced in pairs to ensure safety and to honor the 5-year guarantee.

Which vehicle models are compatible with this part?

The G8649 is compatible with Opel Crossland X, Peugeot 2008, Citroën C4 Cactus, C3 III, and C3 Aircross II, among others.

Does this include the installation accessories?

No, the G8649 is the shock absorber unit. We recommend using accessories MK001 and PK410 during installation.

What is the warranty period?

The product comes with a 5-year guarantee, provided it is replaced in pairs.

What is the clamping diameter of this strut?

The housing diameter in the clamping area is 51 mm.

Is this suitable for manual transmission vehicles?

The part is specified for vehicles with automatic transmission and SUSP. TYPE 3 (+); please check your vehicle's build sheet before installation.

Troubleshooting

Abnormal noises (knocking) after installation

Verify all mounting bolts are torqued correctly and that the top pin and bottom clamp are seated securely.

Vehicle pulling to one side

Ensure that the left-side shock absorber was also replaced with the recommended G8650 unit and perform a professional wheel alignment.

Pros

  • 5-year guarantee provided when replaced in pairs

  • Robust construction weighing 3.78 kg for added durability

Cons

  • Requires professional alignment after installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This unit is intended for the front-right position of compatible vehicles including the Citroën C3 Aircross II, Peugeot 2008 (CU_), and Vauxhall Crossland X.

Installation Requirements:

  1. Ensure the vehicle is properly supported on jack stands.
  2. Verify the clamping area diameter of 51 mm matches your vehicle's knuckle.
  3. Utilize Monroe accessory kits MK001 and PK410 for optimal results.
  4. Always replace in pairs using the G8650 for the opposite side.

Care: Regularly inspect the strut dust boots for tears to prevent debris from reaching the internal seals. Check the clamping bolts periodically during routine service intervals to ensure they remain torqued to manufacturer specifications.
