How to check compatibility?
Find your vehicle’s chassis number on the registration certificate (box E) and look up its first characters (for example VMSCH261) in the table of compatible models below. Also compare the length and the mountings with your current shock absorber. Not sure? Send us a photo of your shock absorber and your chassis number and we will check it for you.

Fitting tips
- Sold individually: always replace both shock absorbers on the same axle at the same time for balanced handling.
- Check the bushes and mountings and replace them if they are worn.
- Tighten the mountings with the vehicle standing on its wheels so that the bushes are not preloaded.
