Body roll in corners, a bouncy rear end and squeaks over uneven surfaces can point to tired shock absorbers or worn rear-end bushings on a 444/544. When the suspension has settled it often becomes noticeable with the car loaded, and then the absorbers, springs and their mounts are typical points to check.
This category gathers parts for the rear suspension: shock absorbers, lowering springs and complete lowering kits, along with spacers, bushings, washers, spring washers and anchorage screw. Spacers and washers are used to adjust height and preload, while fresh bushings keep the rear axle in place without play.
Check the year and version before replacement – mountings and dimensions can differ between early and later 444/544. It is best to replace shock absorbers in pairs so the rear end works evenly.
