Sachs 900 236 Wheel Suspensions
The Sachs 900 236 Wheel Suspension is a high‑performance component designed for the front axle of Alfa Romeo models such as the 147, 156, GT, and Sportwagon. It replaces the original shock absorber with an upgraded unit that delivers improved handling, ride comfort, and durability under demanding driving conditions.
Key Features
- Enhanced damping characteristics: The 900 236 series incorporates a refined internal spring‑coil design that offers smoother absorption of road irregularities while maintaining firm control during cornering.
- Extended service life: Constructed from high‑strength steel and treated with advanced corrosion‑resistant coatings, the unit resists wear and environmental degradation for extended mileage.
- Improved load capacity: The shock absorber’s internal chamber is engineered to handle heavier loads, making it suitable for both daily driving and spirited performance use.
- Easy installation: Designed as a direct replacement for the factory unit, the 900 236 requires no modifications to mounting brackets or auxiliary components.

Installation Guide
The installation process follows the standard procedure for front‑axle shock absorbers. Below is a step‑by‑step outline:
- Preparation: Secure the vehicle on jack stands and remove the wheel to access the suspension assembly.
- Remove the old unit: Detach the upper mounting bolt, lower mounting bolt, and any retaining clips. Carefully lift the shock absorber out of its cradle.
- Inspect components: Check the mounting brackets for damage or corrosion before proceeding.
- Install the 900 236 unit: Position the new shock absorber in place, aligning it with the mounting points.
- Tighten bolts: Use a torque wrench to tighten the upper and lower bolts to the manufacturer’s specified torque (typically 30–35 Nm).
- Reattach wheel: Mount the wheel back onto the hub, torque the lug nuts to spec.
- Test drive: Perform a short test drive to ensure proper operation and absence of abnormal noises.
Maintenance Tips
- Regular inspection: Check for oil leaks, unusual vibrations, or changes in ride height every 10,000 km.
- Seal replacement: If seals show signs of wear, replace them with OEM‑approved parts to prevent fluid loss.
- Fluid top‑off: Some models allow for manual fluid topping; consult the vehicle’s service manual before adding any shock absorber fluid.
