Sachs Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:316 950
Help your Volkswagen's rear suspension stay composed and controlled with the SACHS shock absorber, part number 310950. It is a direct-fit replacement for the rear position on many vehicles, among them the 2011-2014 Volkswagen Jetta, 2012-2018 Volkswagen Passat and 2010-2014 Volkswagen Golf. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine-specific details.
As a suspension shock absorber, this unit dampens spring motion by controlling how quickly the rear suspension compresses and rebounds. Signs a shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, a floaty or wallowing rear end, fluid leaking from the shock body and uneven tire wear. Other suspension parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. Replacing both rear shocks together is recommended as best practice so damping stays balanced from side to side.
