    20100521_GTX_0003.JPGWe all love this mythical and popular car, because we sailed in one being childrens, because someone in the family had one or just because it always made us want it... because it's endearing, whatever we say.
    Its great success is certainly due to the fact that with a simple mechanics, with little or no electronics, it is easy to maintain by yourself without expensive tools, without forgetting that the parts are not expensive and always easy to find. Even today, for some homes, students and people with "little budget", it is a source of great comfort at a lower price: far from car loans and garage mechanics, which are becoming more and more inaccessible. The small engines models (the most common) are very robust and still consume very little, sometimes less than recent "equivalent" cars, which makes it by definition just as ecological, if not even more by the simple fact that we we always use it instead of buying new ones ... At the level of the official technical control, benefiting from its "seniority", it does not undergo the modern standards much too restrictive, the tranquility is assured.
    Today it is still an interesting car for everyday use, especially and clearly from an economic point of view.
    Collectors are also beginning to take an interest in this 30-year-old "granny": restoration, maintenance or refurbishment, repairs, etc ... make it possible to find "newer than new" models for the pleasure of the eyes and to see this French heritage thus safeguarded.

Hi everyone!

 

Does anybody knows what kind of shocks are usable on 1.4 C2J 780 JB5 Super 5.

 

I have ordered already 3 different ones and no luck for finding right ones.

 

So these I have tried:

MM-00575 / JAPANPARTS 

22-041166 / BILSTEIN - Almost identical with japanparts

11091 / MONROE - Wrong as hell

 

Differences with original vs Bilstein:

Hi!

 

There are 2 differents assemblies for the shock absorber on Super5.

 

One with slanting holes (your picture) - 52mm

 

One with vertical holes - 54mm

 

Shock absorbers cannot be interchanged. You need to put the same on your car.

Thanks for the answer. I now there is different types, but I have ordered ones with codes 7700786597 and 7700807873, but still they are wrong. So i would like to know, if these should be correct: TRW JHM466T, KYB 333805 or KYB 633805?

 

EDIT: I think 7700786597 is overwritten OEM number, because everything claims, it's for CLIO. I have that exact number on my rusted on, I did some rust removal and recovered 7700786597. But can I order with 7700807873? Does anybody know?

7700786597 is shock absorbers for Super5 on all websites I'm using.

Except the Bielstein B4; but is a low cost shock absorber...

 

Didn't your dealer switch the part numbers of your Bielstein shock absorber? The reference 22-041166 have slant holes.

 

TRW JHM466T, KYB 333805 or KYB 633805 are shocks absorbers with slant holes. Picture on auto-doc website: https://www.auto-doc.fr/kyb/1737821

 

Edit: I'm searching in my retail parts manual, your GTX don't exist in France. It's an adaptation for exportation. In France we have F2N  with JB3 gearbox.

Your car is close to our French GTS.

In France these shock aborbers are reserved for small C1E engines, it's possible that you don't have exactly the same installation as us.
