- Fits: 2000-2005 Volkswagen Passat and other vehicles

Oil or gas on the strut body, a bouncy ride, nose-dive when braking or a clunk over bumps can mean a strut is worn, though a worn strut mount or a damaged tire can be behind the same signs. Find the cause first, then replace the strut if it is the problem.
