Help protect your rear strut's highly polished piston rod and low-friction seal from environmental elements with the SACHS Strut Bellow, part number 900205. It is a rear-position application for the 2011-2014 Volkswagen Jetta. SACHS calls this part a bumper bellows. It is an exact-fit service kit designed to work alongside SACHS premium shocks and struts.
SACHS suggests replacing the bumper bellows every time a new shock or strut is installed. A suspension strut bellow covers the strut's piston rod, and over time it can tear, crack or go missing. Signs this part may need replacing include a split or damaged bellows and visible dirt or grime on the piston rod. It is worth inspecting whenever the rear struts are serviced.
