Product Description
The Arrowhead Mounting Shock Top Rear Upper is designed to secure the upper end of the rear shock absorber to the vehicle chassis, ensuring proper suspension function. This mounting is specifically suited for select Audi and Volkswagen models, providing a stable connection point for the shock absorber and helping to maintain ride comfort and handling.
Fitment covers various Audi and Volkswagen vehicles, including popular models such as the Audi A1, A3, and Volkswagen Golf VII. However, always confirm your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure correct compatibility.
