Product Description

The Bilstein 19-029177 is a rear shock absorber from the B4 OE Replacement series engineered to restore and maintain the original ride quality and handling of your vehicle. Designed as a direct replacement for worn or failed factory rear dampers, this shock absorber uses gas pressure twin-tube technology to deliver consistent damping action across a wide range of driving conditions. Its construction meets or exceeds original equipment specifications, making it an ideal choice for owners seeking to preserve comfort and control without upgrading to sport or performance-oriented components.

Fitment is confirmed across numerous Volkswagen Group platforms - including Audi A3 (8L), Volkswagen Beetle, Golf, GTI, Jetta, SEAT Leon and Toledo, and Skoda Octavia - covering model years approximately 1996 through 2010 for supported engines and suspensions. This shock absorber attaches to the rear axle using a stem upper mount and 10 mm eye lower mount, making installation straightforward with standard tools. It's ideal for enthusiasts and daily drivers alike who want a reliable restoration of factory suspension performance.
