Diagram Ref No 5

This compensation ring provides precise spacing between shock absorber components, ensuring correct stack height and secure clamping of suspension hardware. It helps prevent misalignment, unwanted movement, or noise caused by incorrect component positioning.

Installed as part of the front damper or strut mounting assembly, the ring acts as a precision spacer that maintains factory-specified tolerances. By ensuring proper seating and load distribution, it supports smooth suspension operation and helps preserve correct geometry and alignment.

Even small suspension hardware components play a critical role in overall system integrity. A worn, damaged, or missing compensation ring can affect clamping force and alignment within the strut assembly, leading to noise, premature wear, or altered suspension behaviour. Replacing it with a fresh component restores correct fitment and helps ensure long-term suspension reliability.

When to replace:
• During front shock or strut replacement
• Ring is corroded, distorted, or damaged during removal
• Persistent front-end noise traced to strut hardware
• Suspension rebuild or geometry correction work
• Replacing superseded part 99134351300
