Quick facts

• Part: KYB 343281 shock absorber
• Also called: gas shock
• Fits: 1998-2005 Volkswagen Passat and other vehicles
• Position: Rear
• Condition: New

A rear end that bounces or floats, leans in turns, or shows oil on the shock absorber body can mean the shock absorber is worn. Those signs alone do not prove it is the problem; a worn tire can give a similar rough ride.

Fits

It fits the 1998-2005 Volkswagen Passat and the 1998-2004 Audi A6, and each takes two. Replace the rear shock absorbers as a pair, since this listing is one shock absorber.
