Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented shock absorber is designed for installation on the vehicle's front axle, with the possibility of use on both the left and right sides. This solution facilitates part selection and allows for consistent restoration of suspension performance on both sides of the car. Its placement at a critical point in the chassis system means that this element has a direct impact on ride comfort, tire grip, and directional stability.

Technical and functional characteristics

The shock absorber from the Shock absorbers and struts group works with other suspension elements, ensuring controlled spring deflection and limiting body roll. The properly selected damping characteristic allows for:

• reduction of vibrations transmitted to the body and steering system,
• maintaining constant tire contact with the road surface,
• increased stability during emergency maneuvers,
• more predictable vehicle behavior in corners.

The original Volkswagen origin promotes compatibility with factory mounting points and standard suspension geometry, which facilitates installation and subsequent chassis adjustment.
