Warranty information (as provided): 24 months with no mileage limit for individuals; 12 months with no mileage limit for legal entities. Normal lifespan stated: 80,000 km.
Warranty and installation conditions: To benefit from warranty, installation must be performed in an authorized workshop. Warranty claims must be accompanied by proof of purchase (invoice, warranty certificate) and proof of installation in an authorized service (installation invoice and work order/estimate).
Important for shock absorber warranty claims: Shock absorbers requested under warranty are sent to the manufacturing factory for laboratory analysis. The analysis involves opening the shock absorbers; therefore, they cannot be returned in the same condition and are scrapped by the factory.
Recommendations for long service life
1. Periodically check the condition of the rubber dust protective sleeves (for example at each periodic maintenance such as oil and filter changes). If you notice cracks, cuts, or gaps between the sleeve and the shock absorber, replace them as soon as possible. If the sleeves are damaged or missing pieces, there is a major risk of shock absorber damage; such defects are not covered by warranty.
2. Periodically check tire pressure. Recommended values: 1.8–2.0 (1.8 for comfort, 2.0 for highway use).
3. Perform wheel alignment (especially toe/convergence) after 500–1000 km from suspension installation.
