VW Jetta Shock Absorber

Genuine VW Jetta Shock Absorber – German Engineering for Kenyan Roads Does your Volkswagen Jetta feel “bouncy” or floaty at highway speeds? For a car engineered for the Autobahn, a worn-out suspension is a major safety concern. At Taleon Autospares Kenya, we provide Genuine Ex-Japan Shock Absorbers that restore the firm, responsive, and sophisticated ride quality that VW is famous for.

Why Your Jetta Needs This Part: Volkswagen suspension systems are precision-tuned. When shocks fail, the car loses its ability to stay flat during cornering and “nose-dives” during braking. This puts immense pressure on your bushings and CV joints. Our Ex-Japan units are original equipment, meaning they feature the correct hydraulic valving to maintain your car’s specific comfort levels.

Key Features:

• Superior Damping: Unlike cheap “new” generic shocks that feel too stiff, these original units are calibrated to absorb the harshness of Kenyan potholes while remaining firm at high speeds.

• Maintain Performance: Sourced from Japan’s low-mileage environment, these shocks have been protected from the extreme wear often seen in local second-hand parts.

• Whisper-Quiet Ride: Specifically vetted to eliminate the “thumping” and vibration that occurs when internal shock seals perish.

• Direct Bolt-On: Guaranteed 1:1 match for the Jetta chassis, ensuring your ABS sensors and brake lines align perfectly without any “jua kali” modifications.

Product Specifications:

• Vehicle Model: Volkswagen Jetta (MK5, MK6, MK7)

• Part Type: Front / Rear Shock Absorber (Gas-Charged)

• Condition: Clean Ex-Japan (High-rebound performance)

• Price: KSh 5,000 (Per piece)

Signs Your VW Jetta Shocks Are Failing:

1. Floating Feeling: The car feels unstable or “sways” when changing lanes at high speeds.

2. Visible Oil Leaks: Oily residue or grime buildup on the body of the shock absorber.

3. Harsh Rebound: A loud “thud” or “bang” when you hit a bump, indicating the shock is no longer absorbing the impact.

4. Uneven Braking: The car dips forward significantly, which increases your stopping distance and wears out front brake pads faster.

Why Buy From Taleon Autospares? Located on Kirinyaga Road, Nairobi, we are the trusted source for European car spares. We understand that VW owners demand quality. That’s why we hand-test the rebound of every shock to ensure it meets factory specifications before it leaves our shop.

Pro Tip: For the best handling and safety, Volkswagen recommends replacing shock absorbers in pairs (Left and Right). If you are replacing the shocks, it is also the perfect time to inspect your Shock Mountings and Dust Covers to ensure a long-lasting repair!
