What is the function of Volkswagen Golf shock absorbers?

The shock absorber controls the relative movement between the wheel and the vehicle body. This control is essential for good road holding, preventing loss of grip between the tyres and the road surface, and ensuring passenger comfort.

When should you change the Volkswagen Golf shock absorbers?

Shock absorber wear is gradual. Warning symptoms include: vehicle sensitive to crosswinds, increased braking distance, difficulty maintaining trajectory in curves, vehicle bouncing excessively over bumps, uneven tyre wear. Replace between 80,000 and 150,000 km. Always replace in pairs.

Is it difficult to change Volkswagen Golf shock absorbers?

Difficulty level 2/5: technically easy but requires specific tools (spring compressors for McPherson struts, torque wrench). A wheel alignment is recommended after the work.
