Plastic cover - rear shock absorber - missing? - C5 X7

Unread post by pi14 »

Dear colleagues,

I've just noticed that some plastic cover of the rear left shock absorber is probably missing. Am I correct?
photo - right.jpg - this is the cover I am talking about.
photo - left.jpg - photo with a missed part.

Do you know the proper name / catalogue number? I do not know how to look it for?
Best

I think they just get knocked off in use.
I had one missing so ordered a replacement which was damaged within 6 months.
They're a bit flimsy and pointless really.

These are still available from your dealer and are different for left and right sides - I had a spare but let it go with the car when I sold her. They're not expensive, and are the same for all models, so if you want official part numbers see below, or just ask your dealer for the correct side arm mounting protector. Less than £10 each.

We can help if you need an original genuine part number, part diagram or factory build sheet and can't already find the info you need on the Forum. For this service, we do ask for a membership upgrade for official parts data as we are in turn charged for this. It will cover you for future part number requests for up to 2 years, so excellent value.

If interested, links are below, then provide your vehicle's VIN in full, which will be masked automatically when you submit your post.
