STRUTS AND SHOCKS
FRONT STRUT ASSEMBLIES COMPLETELY NEW!
If your model (‘93-99.5) Golf or Jetta has 100,000 miles plus (many of our customers drive their cars for 300,000 or 500,000 miles, no kidding!), it might be time to consider new springs & struts. Why not new bearings too! We’ve got the package for you!
The strut assemblies are all new OEM SACHS-BOGE designed assemblies... the same units the dealer sells in a different box!, heavy duty USA-manufactured springs, new OEM strut bearings, new boots, new snubbers. Everything is assembled and ready for a 3- bolt installation!
These make installation a nut and bolt operation, no spring compression needed. There are just 3 nuts per strut!
Golf/Jetta 4 cylinder only 93-96.5

‘93-99.5 Golfs and Jettas came from the factory with gas struts, but if you want a slightly more economical solution, we do after front struts with plain oil inserts. Note that the ride will be somewhat softer.

BALL JOINTS
A rattle or clunk in your front end when going over bumps is usually one of two things. Either your strut bearings or ball joints are shot. Replace the ball joints if there is any free play or the boots are torn. Always use new hardware when installing ball joints!

WHEEL BEARINGS
All Volkswagens ride on front wheel bearings. The drive shaft goes through the bearings and the shaft turns the hub which is bolted to the front wheel. The bearing is really two thrust ball bearing sets facing each other in a sealed housing. They are not repairable; just replace. When wheel bearings go bad they rumble like RRRRRR and get louder with speed. Generally, they don't make any noise at low speeds but get noisier at 20-30 miles and louder the faster you go. Sometimes you can tell which one of the two front bearings is bad by loading one side or another as you go around long sweeping curves on the Expressway. A bad bearing is noisier loaded.
