If the shock absorbers of your Renault Duster have served their time, the best option would be to replace them with an original part from the manufacturer itself. But this is only if your finances allow, you found it in a store or are ready to wait for delivery from an authorized dealer. In all other situations, you will have to select an analogue. Fortunately, there are many decent options on the market, which we will take a closer look at in this article. The main thing is that the design corresponds to the necessary parameters of the car:

In principle, you can put any rack with such characteristics, but it is important for us that the part serves for a long time and works out its resource. There are both very expensive brands on the market, and quite budget ones.It is only important not to fall for a fake and clearly understand where the spare part is made. The home of the brand may be Japan, Germany or France, but in fact, shock absorbers are produced in South Africa, Turkey and Romania. The quality of such parts will be lower, as well as the price. As for counterfeit, we strongly recommend that you study how the brand is protected from it before buying. These can be original barcodes, holograms or complex packaging. The claimed characteristics, of course, do not apply to a fake.
