Genuine Rear Shock Absorber | Renault Clio 3 RS1 Sport

The risks of worn rear shock absorbers: what your Clio 3 RS1 loses in handling

The sport chassis on the Renault Clio 3 RS Phase 1 (197 hp) is renowned for its dynamic balance and responsive rear axle. Over time and miles, internal shock oil degrades and internal valving wears out. Driving on worn dampers leads to uncomfortable rear bounce, floaty body control over rough surfaces, and significantly increased braking distances under hard deceleration.

Failing to replace tired dampers also harms corner entry stability, leading to unpredictable rear axle breakaway mid-corner and uneven rear tire wear. By fitting a pair of genuine Renault rear shock absorbers 8200677290, you eliminate these drawbacks: you regain crisp chassis response, firm load support, and pure driving enjoyment.

Built to exact Renault Sport factory specifications, these rear shocks offer damping rates perfectly matched to stock sport chassis springs for flawless road holding.
