Review on 🔧 Bilstein 46mm Monotube Shock Absorber in Black (Part #24-186971) - Enhanced SEO by Kendrick Dooley

I am not a mechanic but a practical person. This is a relatively easy replacement. I suggest you jack up the car and remove the wheels before changing the shock absorbers. This provides maximum visualization. Before removing, note the position of the 2 upper rubber shock absorbers and their orientation. You must save them for the next shock. One goes over the mountain, the other under it. They do not come with a new shock absorber. A new lock nut is supplied - use this. As a long-time Volkswagen owner, I know Blistein, a renowned German company with quality engineering. I highly recommend this brand.
