What's included in a rear shock absorber for Volkswagen Golf?

What's included
No additional work without your approval
We only use manufacturer parts or equivalent
All parts and labour are protected with our Fixter 12-month warranty

When you drive over a bump, the piston inside the cylinder moves up and down against the gas/fluid and the spring, absorbing the shock from the bump. The strut assembly takes a beating over time, especially on bumpy roads. It will eventually start leaking the gas/liquid, leaving you with an unstable or rugged ride. With worn out struts, it is possible that the tires could lose contact with the road and/or the tires will wear out prematurely.
