Instructions for Assembling Shock Absorbers

Model: Peugeot 106 MK 1 - Years 1991-2004
Part: Shocks

The front shock absorber consists of two main components: the spring and the damper, held together by the upper support of the shock absorber. To assemble the shock absorber, it is essential to use the appropriate clamps to compress the spring and then secure the support to the damper rod before releasing the spring. Insert the new damper into the casing, screw on the fixing collar, insert the protective cover, compress the spring with the clamps, place it on the shock absorber rod, secure the upper support, and release the spring.
