Description
Passenger-side right armrest for CITROEN and PEUGEOT models. Used part – possible contamination – requires cleaning.
This genuine used passenger armrest is a practical and economical replacement for worn or damaged armrests on Citroën and Peugeot front seats. It restores ergonomic elbow support, reduces driver and passenger fatigue, and eliminates rattles or play caused by failed hinges. The part is commonly searched by its product code 8830C2, making it easy to find for professional garages and experienced DIY mechanics.
Designed as a direct-fit replacement for the original part, the armrest includes the factory hinge and mounting interface. It is suitable for vehicles where the right/passenger-side armrest mounts directly to the seat frame or an attached bracket. Typical benefits include improved comfort, restored interior appearance, and removal of mechanical noise from the seating area.
Installation Recommendations
General guidance for replacement (procedures can vary by model):
- Remove trim panels or seat covers that block access to the armrest mounting points.
- Unscrew or unclip the fasteners securing the old armrest and carefully detach it from the seat.
- Transfer any required metal mounting brackets from the old unit to the new armrest or fit the new bracket supplied.
- Align the armrest hinge and secure all fasteners. Ensure correct orientation for the passenger-side unit.
- Verify smooth movement and locking function through the full travel; tighten fasteners as needed to eliminate play or rattles.
Use appropriate hand tools and avoid excessive force on plastic clips. If the seat contains integrated airbags or electrical components, follow the vehicle manufacturer’s safety recommendations when working on the seat structure.
Why The Part Commonly Fails
Common failure modes include broken or worn hinge components, cracked plastic guides, compressed or degraded foam, and damaged upholstery due to wear, spills, or UV exposure. Repeated folding and heavy loading accelerate mechanical wear. Symptoms are excessive play, rattling noises, inability to lock in position, torn cover, or visible contamination.

Replacement Advice
Inspect the original mounting bracket, clips and fasteners and replace any worn parts to ensure a secure fit. Clean or disinfect the mounting area and upholstery before installation if contamination is present. After fitting, check for correct movement, secure locking and absence of noise. Regular cleaning and conditioning of the cover material will extend service life.
