Clio 182 cup dampers???

[Gazza]

Hi everyone,

Need some help with trying to tell if a pair of dampers I have got are correct. I got them off a guy from cliosport, who said they were 182 cup dampers. They have the correct 60mm spacing but when I try and fit them on my Trophy (while I get my sachs refurbed) they are really long and the only way I think I could fit them is with spring compressors and pushing the damper in. is this correct? as my sachs came off easily

The dampers have the following numbers on:
APA-KYB
8200 342 845A
3306-100 0431A
0505
RENAULT AV BR
made in spaian

any help would be greatly appreciated, otherwise I will be carless all week

Thanks

They should go on fairly easy TBH, I take it you have both sides of the car jacked up.

If you havent you will need to as the ARB will be fighting against you trying to line them up which is why you feel they are too long

I can check the part numbers agains mine if you are struggling still tomorrow as i have my set lying in the loft

Yeah its all jacked up on both sides, so im not sure if they are the right ones, or maybe the springs are wrong. Well somethings not right. Would be cool if you could check the part numbers though
