Product details

This B6 damper serves early VW rear suspensions, including classic swing axle installations. Monotube construction and 12mm eye mounts provide the standard replacement mounting. Match its 261mm collapsed and 387mm extended lengths to the actual suspension, especially where the axle or ride height has been changed.
