2K0883169E Volkswagen GAS-FILLED

These things do a couple of key jobs. Basically, they control the movement of your suspension. They dampen the spring’s bounce, preventing the vehicle from just continually going up and down. That gas inside—usually nitrogen—is compressed, and it acts like a cushion, controlling how quickly the suspension compresses and rebounds. It also helps maintain tire contact with the road, which is pretty vital. Think of it like this—your springs support the weight of the car, but the shocks control that support. Without shocks, every bump would feel huge, and your car would be all over the place. These are a core part of your suspension system, working with the springs, control arms, and other bits to keep everything stable and comfortable. They’re usually found at each wheel, working independently, though some systems link them. Honestly, they’re pretty crucial for both handling and safety. You'll notice if a shock goes bad—the ride will get bouncy, the car won't feel as stable, especially around corners, and it'll take longer to stop. It also wears out other suspension parts faster if the shocks aren’t doing their job. A worn shock doesn't absorb impacts as well, so that energy transfers to everything else. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and getting the right ones can really make a difference in how your vehicle rides and handles. It's something you don't want to put off if you suspect they're failing. We’re here to help: Gas-Filled Shock Absorber (MPN 2K0883169E) has a 12-month warranty!
