Bilstein B4 OEM Replacement Front Shock For MK5 GTI - 22-140012

Bilstein B4 OEM Replacement Front Shock For MK5 GTI - 22-140012

The B4 range from Bilstein uses gas damper technology to create an OEM direct replacement part for original shock absorbers. They are made to a very high standard with a focus on accurate fitment, comfort/ride quality, vehicle handling and control.

These dampers can be used with either standard OEM springs, or subtle lowering springs with great results.

Shock absorbers are considered to be a wear and tear item, they can show noticeable signs of wear long before they may fail an MOT. Worn shock absorbers can affect cornering, braking, acceleration, and tyre life span.

The legendary Bilstein gas damper technology smooths out bumps for an excellent ride, but control and stability are maintained at speed for confidence in all conditions.

We typically recommend replacing dampers in pairs per axle, this is to prevent uneven shock absorber wear which can cause undesirable handling characteristics, especially under braking.

This listing is for the MK5 Golf GTI, 55MM external strut diameter front B4 shock absorber. These shocks are sold individually so you would require x2 to replace the front shocks, they are not sided.

If you require the matching rear shock absorbers then you need part number 19-183749 which you can also find on our website, it is linked below in the suggested products!
