Focus Auto Parts 341620 rear shock absorber for the 2005-2018 Volkswagen Jetta and other vehicles damps the movement of the rear springs after each bump. As a suspension shock absorber, it limits how long the body keeps bouncing.
Repeated bouncing after bumps, fluid on the shock body or a knock from the rear can point to a worn shock absorber. A weak coil spring or a worn rear shock mount can be behind the same signs, so find the cause before you buy.
This rear shock absorber for the 2005-2018 Volkswagen Jetta is also listed for a wide range of Volkswagen, Audi and Seat models, including the 2012-2022 Volkswagen Passat and the 2010-2014 Volkswagen Golf. If your car is not one of these, look up its year, make and engine in the "Vehicles it fits" section. This listing is one shock absorber, and the one on the other side of that axle is normally replaced at the same time.

How can I tell if a rear shock absorber is worn?
A rear end that keeps bouncing after bumps, a knock from the rear over bumps or a car that feels less steady can all mean a worn shock absorber. A shop can inspect the shock body for leaking fluid.
Is it okay to keep driving with a worn rear shock absorber?
No. Have it inspected and replaced promptly, because a worn shock absorber no longer controls the rear springs as intended.
