VW Golf V / VI, Jetta, Audi A3 8P Rear Shock Absorber 1K0513029

Product overview

Restore ride comfort and rear-end control with this replacement rear shock absorber for a wide range of Volkswagen and Audi models built on the same platform. Referenced to OE number 1K0513029, it suits either rear side and is offered in gas-filled, oil-filled or hydraulic versions. Worn rear shocks often show up as a bouncy ride, poor stability over bumps, uneven tyre wear or fluid leaking from the body of the damper, and replacing them can noticeably improve how the car settles.

Technical specifications

Installation requirements

Shock absorbers should be replaced in pairs across the axle for balanced handling. Fitting involves supporting the rear suspension and torquing mounting bolts to specification, so professional installation by a qualified mechanic is recommended. Have the vehicle checked after fitting if any handling change is noticed.

Fitment checks before ordering

Suspension specification varies with engine, drivetrain and trim. Confirm the OE number on your current shock, or check by VIN, before ordering.

Package inclusions
