Help settle rear-end bounce and keep your Volkswagen composed over rough pavement with the SACHS shock absorber, part number 560336. This rear unit is a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2010 Volkswagen Beetle, 1999-2006 Volkswagen Golf and 1999-2005 Volkswagen Jetta. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-specific fitment.
As a suspension shock absorber, it damps spring movement at the rear of the vehicle. This helps control body motion, keep the tires in contact with the road and support steady handling.
Signs that a rear shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, rear squat under acceleration, a floaty or wallowing ride, fluid seeping from the shock body and cupped tire wear. If a worn damper is behind those symptoms, this SACHS unit replaces it. Whether you need a 1999-2006 Volkswagen Golf shock absorber or a 1999-2005 Volkswagen Jetta shock absorber, or a rear shock for the 1998-2010 Volkswagen Beetle, this part is listed for each of them. For balanced damping from side to side, replacing both rear shocks at the same time is recommended.
