Home Company Products Quality Catalogue Contact Fitting instructions BEFORE FITTING Check : The good condition of the front axle and the steering. The good condition of the rubbers of the stabilizing rods. That there is no play in the ball-joints and coupling rods. The good condition of the shields, ball-bearings, bump stops and other associated suspension elements environing the shock absorber. That the springs have not given in. Tyre pressure and wheel balance. That the selected shock absorber part numbers are the right ones. INSTALLATION The Record-France shock absorber works only with rod and dust-cover upwards. An arrow points to the top. Hold the shock absorber in its normal position and make the oil circulate to prime the damper. Use appropriate tooling during the fitting of the shocks on the vehicle. Caution ! It is strictly forbidden to hold the piston rod with pliers or mole grips. Avoid any contact with tools (screwdrivers, spanners, hammers…). A dented rod puts the seals out of order, causes an oil leakage and therefore damage to the shock absorber. Replace any top bearing kits in bad condition : a blocked bearing or a worn-out top plate set may lead to a snapping-off of the upper attachment. Replace any worn-out protection kits : this will prevent the piston rod chrome from being corroded, and therefore the damper from leaking. Do not lock the attachments fully while the wheels are hanging. The final locking must be carried out with the wheels on the ground, in the normal functioning position of the suspension. Please install all the mounting components & parts in the correct order and in the correct position, and please observe that the torque settings for the fixing bolts and nuts are tightened in accordance to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications, to avoid any risks of knocking noise and any risks of breaking-off of the attachment(s). The use of an air gun is not advisable. AFTER FITTING When front Mac-Pherson struts are replaced, wheel-camber angle and steering alignment should always be checked.. !!

Home Company Products Quality Catalogue Contact Technologies Record-France offers 2 various technologies : hydraulic and gas. Matching a variable gas pressure to its exact application and using the most advanced technology for each component, the Maxigaz shock absorber guarantees optimum safety in every circumstance. The main benefit of a variable gas system is instantaneous damping reaction, ensuring that the shock absorber works more efficiently. Damping is more progressive and a smoother ride is created. This shock gives the vehicle very precise road holding with superior comfort. Hydraulic telescopic twin-tube especially designed for the aftermarket. The Super shock absorber is the perfect answer to the requirements of the car suspension it is engineered for. With a differential and progressive double action valving, with damping forces in rebound and compression function of the motion speed of the piston, this shock absorber offers a different car handling.
