Replacement Interval
Replacement is recommended every 80,000–100,000 km or when symptoms appear.
Always replace shock absorbers in pairs on the same axle — uneven wear causes the vehicle to pull to one side under braking.
Signs of Worn Shock Absorbers
- Body nose-dives under braking, bounces on bumps
- Knocking, squeaking or vague feeling through corners
- Increased stopping distance by 10–15%
- Uneven tyre wear (flat spots, cupping)
- Oil leaks visible on the shock absorber body
FAQ
Which shock absorbers should I choose for Skoda Octavia IV?
For standard use: Sachs 316 985 or Monroe G8188 — OE-level quality at a fair price. For improved handling: Bilstein 22-191145.
Should shock absorbers always be replaced in pairs?
Yes — always replace both shock absorbers on the same axle. A difference in condition between left and right causes instability under braking and in corners.
Do I need to replace the springs when fitting new shock absorbers on Skoda Octavia IV?
Springs are replaced separately, only when visibly damaged (cracks, sagging, breakage). They are not replaced as routine preventive maintenance.
