New rear shock absorbers
-> 206 Problems

Hi,

I bought some new rear shock absorbers, sachs one's from euro car parts.

The old oem rear bush on the right side was really knackered.

Anyways got the garage to fit it yesterday, car feels like its got more grip on the road and feels more firmer on the road. But its rattling over tiny little bumps and making more noise then the old one's.

Anyone got ideas why this might happen? Or do I need to let them wear in with a bit of mileage?

I did not prime these either as I never knew this, but the mechanic I know, he didn't either but I'm sure if your meant to he would of as he's a good reliable honest mechanic.
