Shock absorber Peugeot 307 (2001–2008)

About this part

The shock absorber keeps the wheel on the road. The spring carries the weight; the damper controls the oscillation, and when it stops doing that the tyre loses contact over every bump: braking distances grow and cornering grip changes.

There is no mileage limit for this: you look. The three signs are a film of oil on the shaft, a car that keeps bouncing after a bump, and tread worn in patches instead of evenly.

Replace them in pairs on the same axle: a new one next to a tired one unbalances the braking. Front and rear are not the same part, and several versions have a specific setting for sports suspension or for a tow bar. On a high-mileage car look at the bump stops and the strut bearings at the same time: they wear at the same rate, and doing them afterwards means taking the strut apart twice.
