Volkswagen Golf Shock Absorbers

Experience the original factory handling of your car with genuine Ex-German Shock Absorbers for the Volkswagen Golf. While Japanese imports are common, “Ex-German” parts are highly sought after for VWs as they are specifically tuned for the European-spec chassis. These units offer an authentic damping profile that generic aftermarket shocks often fail to replicate.

• European Road Tuning: These shocks are sourced from vehicles that operated on the Autobahn and high-quality European roads. This means the internal valving hasn’t been “beaten down” by rough terrain, preserving the sensitive damping required for a Golf’s agile cornering.

• Gas-Pressure Technology: Most Ex-German Golf shocks utilize a nitrogen-gas charge to prevent oil foaming during spirited driving. This ensures consistent performance even when the shocks are working hard on winding roads or during long trips.

• Superior Build Quality: Manufactured by OEM suppliers like Sachs, Bilstein, or Monroe, these units feature hardened chrome piston rods and multi-lip seals that are highly resistant to leaks and dust ingress.

• Enhanced Driving Safety: Worn shocks on a Golf can cause the ABS and Traction Control systems to behave unpredictably. Installing these high-tension units keeps the wheels firmly on the ground, significantly improving braking distances and stability at highway speeds.

• Precision Fitment: Designed for a wide range of Golf chassis, including the 5K (Mk6) and 5G (Mk7). They include all necessary brackets for brake lines and ABS sensors, ensuring a direct “bolt-on” replacement without modifications.
