VW Golf / Jetta / Passat / Audi Rear Shock Absorber 1K0513029FA

Product overview

A new rear shock absorber for Volkswagen and Audi applications, cross-referenced to OE numbers 1K0513029, 1K0513029FA, 1K0513029FJ and 1K0513029CE. Worn rear dampers can cause a floaty ride, excessive bounce over bumps, longer stopping distances and uneven tyre wear; replacing them restores a more settled, controlled feel.

The rear damper works alongside the spring to control body movement and keep the tyres planted. Other signs that replacement is due include oil seeping from the shock body, knocking over bumps and the rear squatting noticeably under load.

Vehicle compatibility

The listing shows this shock absorber for Volkswagen and Audi vehicles, naming the Volkswagen Passat, Golf and Jetta in the product title. No generation, year range or detailed fitment table was supplied, so fitment is unverified. The 1K0 reference prefix is commonly associated with the Golf V/VI and Jetta platform, but rear damper specifications vary with suspension package and drivetrain.

Key features

• Vehicle-specific rear damper (not a universal fit, per listing)
• Mount included, according to the listing
• Steel, aluminium and rubber construction
• Choice of gas-filled, oil-filled or hydraulic type

Technical specifications

Installation requirements

Select your preferred shock absorber type when placing your order. We recommend fitment by a qualified suspension technician. Shocks should be renewed in pairs on the same axle, with bolts tightened at normal ride height. A wheel alignment check after installation is good practice.

While the suspension is apart, inspect the bump stops, dust covers and mounting points for wear or damage.

Fitment checks before ordering

Match the part number on your existing shock and confirm by VIN before ordering, particularly if your vehicle has sports or adaptive suspension.
