146. Renewed shock absorber

Entry:2021.03.06 / Work:2021.02.11←07

I was worried about the left and right shaking, so I replaced the shock absorber. Originally VW genuine, this time made by SACHS... It's a little thin... does it enough work?? The collar under the front remained and I couldn't pull it out, so I bought a pipe wrench and removed it.

BOGE? This was a genuine VolksWagen.

The new front is also thinner.

I grabbed it with a pipe wrench and hit it with a hammer and it came off.

I ended up buying a pipe wrench.

And this collar attached to the lower screw never comes off.

I wonder if it was the bolt that holds the front and rear tops together?

I will replace the front next.

Rear shock absorber, set complete.

The new ones are thinner. Is there any problem with strength?

Start with the rear. How many miles and years has it been in use?

For front and rear. Feels good to be new.
