Description
Armrest mechanism for the right-hand seat – Front passenger seat. Color FZL – Ouragan Grey.
Product Description
This durable armrest mechanism is designed for the front right (passenger) seat of select Citroën and Peugeot models. Sold under the product code 8830TK, the part is frequently searched by technicians and DIYers by this reference. The mechanism delivers smooth pivoting and a secure locking position to restore comfort and functionality to a worn or damaged armrest assembly.
Features And Function
- Purpose: Provides adjustable support and comfort for the front passenger, integrating into the seat frame and upholstery.
- Finish: Color FZL – Ouragan Grey, matched to OEM interior trim.
- Construction: Metal pivot and supporting hardware with precision plastic components for quiet operation.
- Fitment Note: Sold as the mechanism assembly; upholstery trim transfer may be required depending on vehicle and seat version.
Installation Recommendation
Replacement is straightforward for a trained technician or competent DIYer. Typical steps: remove surrounding trim panels with appropriate trim tools, unbolt and detach the old mechanism from the seat frame, transfer any necessary upholstery or trim pieces, fit the new mechanism, secure fasteners to the original mounting points and verify full range of motion and proper locking. Work with the ignition off and be cautious around seats equipped with occupancy sensors or side airbags—follow the vehicle manufacturer’s safety procedures when working near restraint systems.
Why The Part Fails
Common failure modes include worn pivot bushings, fractured plastic guides or locking pawls caused by repeated folding/opening, impact damage, or plastic fatigue accelerated by heat and sunlight. Excessive side loads (e.g., using the armrest as a step) and age-related wear are the usual causes. Regular, heavy use shortens service life while gentle operation prolongs it.
Practical Tips For Replacement
- Allow approximately 30–60 minutes for removal and installation, depending on trim complexity and whether upholstery transfer is needed.
- Use a set of Torx and metric sockets as required by the seat fasteners and a plastic trim tool to avoid damaging panels.
- After installation, check that the armrest locks securely in all positions and does not rattle; adjust mounting if necessary.
- Keep old fasteners and small plastic clips as they are often vehicle-specific and may need reuse.
