Shock absorber bellows/covers
Im replacing front suspension on the 11 turbo and bought some bellows/covers. When I took the front struts off there were no bellows/covers on the shocks. Were these fitted as new to protect the rod from muck etc, or should they not have them on :scratch:
Re: Shock absorber bellows/covers
I dont think mine had any on? I sort of remember some bump stops though. It probably wont do any harm fitting some if they dont foul anything.
Re: Shock absorber bellows/covers
Thanks mate, ill try them on the shocks and see what they are like, funny as didnt have any on yet sold for renault 11's on ebay, -probably says it all lol.
Yeah the bump stops are fitted to top of the spring cups. I know 5's definitely have the bellows/covers on. :)

You can make new ones out of steering rack gaiters and a sharp knife :)

I dont know what I used many years back, I just went shopping in my local parts place and found one that looked big enough, then topped and tailed it. Shoulda kept the part number lol
