Removing Spring Strut (PASM And Conventional)

Information 

Recommendation for workshops replacing shock absorbers/spring dampers:

• Dampers can be replaced separately up to a mileage of 30, 000 km or 3 years. 
• If the mileage is > 30, 000 km or the components are more than 3 years old, we recommend replacing them in pairs.
