KYB Shocks & Struts Excel-G Rear AUDI A6 1998-04 VOLKSWAGEN Passat 1998-05

If you're noticing your 1998-2005 Volkswagen Passat isn't handling as smoothly as it used to, or if you're feeling more bumps and jolts than before, it might be time to replace the rear shock absorbers. These KYB Excel-G rear shocks are built to bring back your vehicle's original ride control and stability.

KYB is a major supplier to car manufacturers, and these Excel-G shocks are made on the same assembly lines using the same quality parts as original equipment. They are calibrated to restore your Passat's designed performance, not to change it. This twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged design includes all the quality components you'd expect from an OE part, making them a popular choice for technicians looking to get the car back to its factory handling capabilities.

When you're replacing your shocks, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts at the same time to help reduce the chance of noise and vibration. You'll want to check out part number SM5237 for those.
