Unity 257020 Rear Shock Absorber

This twin-tube gas-charged shock absorber is built as a direct replacement for worn original-equipment units on select Audi and Volkswagen models. It serves drivers who need reliable suspension restoration without modifying the vehicle's standard setup.

Twin-tube gas-charged construction

The gas-charged twin-tube design delivers consistent damping control and resists fade during extended use. As a bolt-in replacement it uses the factory mounting points, so installation follows the original service procedure without extra hardware or fabrication.

Replaces failing OE shocks on listed models

It fits 2005-2017 VW and Audi applications including Jetta, GTI, Golf, Rabbit, Passat, CC, A3 and R32 variants, but excludes Sport Suspension and Magnetic Ride Control. The upgrade is worthwhile when the original shocks are leaking, bottoming out or no longer controlling body motion.
