Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Park the vehicle on a level surface and secure it with wheel chocks. Raise the rear of the car using a jack and support it with jack stands.
2. Remove Old Cover: Locate the existing dust cover on the rear shock absorber. Use a suitable socket or wrench to loosen any retaining clips or bolts, then carefully lift the old cover away from the housing.
3. Clean the Area: Wipe the mounting surface with a clean rag to remove any residual debris or oil that could interfere with adhesion.
4. Position New Cover: Align the new Sachs 900 248 Dust Cover Kit with the shock absorber housing. Ensure that all edges are flush and that the cover sits evenly.
5. Secure the Cover: Reinstall any retaining clips or bolts, tightening them to the manufacturer’s specified torque (typically 10–15 Nm). Verify that the cover is firmly seated and does not shift when gently moved.
6. Lower Vehicle & Test: Carefully lower the car from the jack stands. Perform a short drive to confirm that the shock absorber operates smoothly and that no rattling or noise originates from the rear suspension area.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the dust cover annually for cracks, wear, or signs of UV degradation. Replace if any damage is observed.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals directly on the polymer surface; mild soap and water are sufficient for routine cleaning.
• When performing suspension work, always ensure that the dust cover remains in place to prevent accidental contamination of the shock absorber.
