Help bring back composed, controlled handling with the SACHS suspension strut, part number 317330, a front strut designed to help restore your vehicle's original handling dynamics. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2019-2026 Volkswagen Jetta, 2018-2023 Volkswagen Tiguan and 2022-2026 Volkswagen Taos, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
A strut dampens the up-and-down motion of the suspension and helps keep body movement in check over bumps, during braking and through turns. Over time the internal damping can weaken. If a worn front strut is behind excessive bouncing, nose-dive under braking or uneven tire wear, replacing it with the SACHS 317330 addresses the worn unit. Replacing both front struts together is recommended for balanced handling, and a wheel alignment check is a good idea after installation.
What does the SACHS 317330 front strut do?
It dampens suspension movement at the front of the vehicle, helping control bounce and body motion. SACHS uses an application-tuned valve aimed at balancing comfort, control and longevity.
Is this one of the right front struts for a 2019-2026 VW Jetta?
Yes, it is listed as a front strut for the 2019-2026 Volkswagen Jetta. The Buyer's Guide tab shows the other vehicles it fits.
Does it also fit the 2018-2023 Volkswagen Tiguan and 2022-2026 Volkswagen Taos?
Yes, it is listed for the front of the 2018-2023 Volkswagen Tiguan and the 2022-2026 Volkswagen Taos.
What are signs a front strut may need replacing?
Common signs include excessive bouncing after bumps, nose-dive when braking, body lean in turns, fluid leaking from the strut body and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts.
Should front struts be replaced in pairs?
Replacing both front struts together is recommended so damping stays even side to side. Follow the vehicle service information for installation, and have the wheel alignment checked afterward.
