If you are replacing genuine Peugeot shocks with aftermarket ones, be
sure to save the originals. The fronts are easily rebuildable if
not worn through the plating on the shaft. You may wish to do that
soon. I don't know how bad your rears are, but they may well be
better than the usual replacements after a year, or even now.
Peugeot makes really great shocks, rarely duplicated in the aftermarket.
