Installation Procedure

1. Preparation: Park the vehicle on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and lift the front or rear section as required. Secure with jack stands for safety.
2. Removal of Existing Cover: Locate the current dust cover (if present). Use appropriate tools to detach any fasteners or clips holding it in place.
3. Cleaning: Inspect the shock absorber housing and surrounding area. Remove any accumulated debris or old sealant residue with a clean cloth.
4. Installation of New Cover: Position the Sachs 900 377 Dust Cover Kit onto the shock absorber housing, aligning all mounting points accurately.
5. Securing Fasteners: Tighten all provided screws or clips to the manufacturer’s specified torque settings. Ensure a tight seal without over‑tightening, which could damage the cover material.
6. Verification: Inspect the installation for any gaps or misalignments. Verify that the cover is fully seated and secure before lowering the vehicle.

Maintenance Tips

• Periodically inspect the dust cover for cracks, wear, or loose fasteners, especially after exposure to extreme weather conditions.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the polymer material. Mild soap and water are sufficient for routine cleaning.
• If the cover becomes dislodged during operation, replace it promptly to maintain optimal shock absorber protection.
