Description
Armrest Mechanism For Right Seat – Passenger Seat. Color FZL – Ouragan Grey.
This high-quality Armrest Mechanism (part code 8830TK) is designed for passenger-side installation in Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. Ideal for professional workshops and skilled DIYers, this sturdy mechanism restores the folding and locking function of the passenger armrest, improves comfort on long trips and preserves the original interior appearance. Many technicians and customers search by the product code 8830TK—include this reference when looking up compatibility or ordering spare parts.
The mechanism provides reliable pivoting and locking action for the armrest pad and is finished to match the vehicle interior in Ouragan Grey (FZL). Built to withstand daily use, the assembly transfers load through metal pivots and bushes while the external trim retains the factory look. It is a common replacement part on older models where plastic clips or springs have fatigued.
Installation Recommendations
- Prepare Tools: Basic metric sockets, Torx set, trim tools and a ratchet. Work on a stable surface with good lighting.
- Seat Access: Move the seat to an accessible position to reach all fasteners around the side trim and armrest area.
- Trim Removal: Carefully pry away trim panels with plastic trim tools to avoid breaking clips. Keep all screws and clips for reassembly.
- Remove Old Mechanism: Unbolt the old mechanism (retain any reusable fasteners if undamaged) and note the orientation and any spacers or washers for correct reinstallation.
- Fit New Mechanism: Install the new mechanism in the same orientation, secure fasteners to a firm seating without over-torquing, and check the pivot and locking action before refitting trim.
- Function Check: Verify smooth fold, secure lock engagement and correct alignment of the armrest pad. Adjust as necessary before completing reassembly.

Why This Part Most Commonly Fails
- Mechanical Wear: Repeated folding/unfolding causes wear on pivot bushes and metal pins, leading to excessive play or noisy operation.
- Broken Latch or Plastic Clips: Impact, forceful use or brittle aging of plastic clips can result in failure to lock or retain the armrest position.
- Spring Fatigue: Internal springs lose tension over years of use, reducing return force and lock reliability.
- Accidental Damage: Heavy loads or impacts (e.g., objects placed on or wedged under the armrest) can bend or fracture components.
Service Life And Maintenance
There is no fixed replacement interval; service life depends on usage and conditions. Regular inspection during interior repairs or when creaks/play are noticed helps catch wear early. Lubricate metal pivots with a light, non-gumming lubricant during service, and replace worn bushes or broken clips promptly to prevent secondary damage to the seat trim.
Notes For Professionals And DIYers
Search engines and parts databases often index this item under the code 8830TK and by the vehicle models listed above. When replacing the mechanism, verify visual compatibility with the existing armrest pad and mounting points. Fitment is straightforward for experienced technicians and competent DIYers but requires attention to trim clips and fastener orientation to ensure factory-like operation and finish.
