Product Description

The Bilstein 19-230542 rear shock absorber is engineered as a direct OE-replacement damper for compatible Volkswagen and Audi vehicles. Part of the Bilstein B4 series, this shock restores the original ride comfort and handling characteristics that tend to soften as shocks age. Its twin-tube gas pressure design delivers smooth, predictable damping for everyday driving conditions without altering factory suspension balance.

This rear shock fits a range of models on the Golf VII, Golf VIII, A3, Q2, and SportWagen platforms that use stem upper mounts and eye lower mounts. Installation is straightforward with no modifications required, making it ideal for owners looking to replace worn or failed rear shocks while maintaining factory performance. The robust construction and corrosion-resistant finish ensure long service life under normal road use.
