Help tame front-end bounce and keep your van composed with the SACHS shock absorber, part number 101825. This front shock is a direct-fit replacement for the 1980-1985 Volkswagen Vanagon and the 1990-1991 Volkswagen Vanagon. It controls suspension motion to help keep the tires in contact with the road, which supports predictable steering and braking.
How it works: A shock absorber damps the up-and-down motion of the springs and controls how quickly the suspension compresses and rebounds. Signs a front shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, nose-dive under braking, body sway, visible fluid leakage, or uneven tire wear. Shocks are commonly replaced in pairs on the same axle for balanced handling.
