If you drive a Volkswagen Passat, you understand how important it is for your vehicle’s ride to be smooth. Without proper shock absorbers, you will feel every bump in the road. That’s where our Volkswagen Passat Shocks come in.

Basically, the shock provides resistance to your suspension’s tendency to bounce on its springs. When those springs coil or uncoil in response to the terrain, the kinetic energy created by their movements is channeled to the shock.

The shock consists of a hydraulic tube filled with oil and a piston that moves up and down in the oil. The entire shock connects on one end to the frame and on the other to the axel. When the springs move, the piston moves up or down through the oil. That piston has tiny perforations, allowing small amounts of oil to seep through while still providing enough resistance to control the vibrations caused by the springs. The kinetic energy transferred to the shock is then turned into heat energy. Volkswagen Passat Shocks react more distinctly at higher speeds. That means when the suspension moves faster, the shock provides more resistance and absorbs more of the suspension’s vibrations. As such, the shock can then more readily adjust to the terrain and cut eliminate much of the bounce or sway that you would otherwise notice while driving. All of this adds up to a more comfortable ride. If you feel it is time for a new set of shocks to improve your ride, look into our Volkswagen Passat Shocks.They are specifically design to integrate into your Volkswagen Passat’s suspension and provide you the all the comfort necessary for your road travels.
