Product Information
Not for vehicles with AirMatic/Air Suspension
Depending on driving conditions, by 50,000 miles your shock absorbers performance will begin to degrade. By 80,000 miles they normally require replacement in pairs. If you notice the following symptoms, shock absorber replacement should be considered:
- Bouncy ride
- Irregular tire wear
- Poor steering response
- Braking instability
- Fluid leaking from the shock body
When the suspension system is working optimally, it will distribute force on the tires contact patches in a way that maximizes contact and performance. Worn shocks will increase dive and weight transfer and affect wheel alignment.
Sachs brand is an adjustable ride height strut and requires the installer to first measure the height of the lower spring plate to the lower mounting hole before disassembly. Then simply moving the circlip located under the lower spring perch of the new strut to one of 11 different ride height settings for the perfect match.
If your suspension is feeling "bouncy" or "loose" it can likely be attributed to blown or worn shock absorbers. The purpose of shock absorbers is to dampen the recoil of the coil spring as your travel over dips and bumps in the road.
Suspension Shock Absorber Failure Symptoms- Noise over bumps
- Squeaks
- Leaks
- Poor Handling
- Harsh ride
About Sachs
ZF Sachs AG, also known as Fichtel & Sachs was founded in Schweinfurt in 1895 and was a well-known German family business. At its last point as an independent company, the company name was Fichtel & Sachs AG. In 1997, the automotive supplier was taken over by Mannesmann and renamed Mannesmann Sachs AG. As of 2001, Sachs belonged to ZF Friedrichshafen as a subsidiary company ZF Sachs AG. In 2011, ZF Sachs, like other Group subsidiaries, was legally merged with ZF Friedrichshafen AG and the independent business units integrated into the ZF divisions. Sachs has since become a brand of ZF Friedrichshafen AG.
