Shock absorbers play a complementary role to springs, refining roadholding, braking efficiency and vehicle handling.

Changing shock absorbers is a costly operation, but crucial to the safety of the driver and passengers.

What's more, driving with a worn suspension precipitates the deterioration of other vehicle components, such as tires.

The short spring and sport shock absorber kit for Volkswagen Golf 1 consists of :

- 2 front shock absorbers with struts

- 2 rear shock absorbers with lower cups

- 4 short springs -40mm

Screws not included

How can I tell if my springs and shock absorbers are worn?

Visually, you can easily spot signs of wear, such as hydraulic leaks or spring breakage.

Other negative consequences should not be overlooked:

- Increased braking distances

- Uneven roadholding

- Noise or rattling when negotiating obstacles such as speed bumps

When replacing your shock absorbers, it's advisable to change the thrust and suspension bearings. These parts are subjected to high pressure, which accelerates their ageing process.
