About this product

GH shock absorber (GH+359961) restores factory damping characteristics by controlling spring oscillation on both compression and rebound strokes, recovering steering precision and reducing body roll. Damping configuration — Fitting Position: Front Right, Fitting Position: Front Axle, Fitting Position: Front Left, Shock Absorber Type: Aluminium — is tuned to the original suspension geometry so spring rates and ride height are unaffected, preserving the manufacturer's comfort and handling balance. Mounting dimensions, piston diameter, and stroke length replicate the OEM unit on AUDI, SEAT, SKODA, VW applications, allowing a straight-swap installation without drilling or bracket modification. Supersedes manufacturer part numbers: 0730155, 0730175, 104501, 104503 and 756 more. GH dampers are gas-pressure charged, zero-leakage tested on a servo-hydraulic rig, and carry a 2-year unlimited-mileage warranty against manufacturing defects. Shock absorbers gradually lose damping force over time and should be inspected at 50,000 miles and replaced by 80,000–100,000 miles — even if they are not visibly leaking, internal valve wear reduces their effectiveness. Warning signs include excessive body roll in corners, nose-dive under braking, rear-end squat during acceleration, uneven tyre wear, and a bouncy or floaty ride — a simple bounce test (push down on each corner and release) can reveal weak dampers. Shock absorber replacement is an intermediate DIY task that requires spring compressors (for strut-type assemblies), a torque wrench, and penetrating oil for corroded fasteners — allow 2–3 hours per axle. When selecting shock absorbers, match the damper type (twin-tube, monotube, or gas-pressurised) to the original specification — upgrading to a different type can alter ride height and handling characteristics. Always replace shock absorbers in pairs (both sides of the same axle) to maintain balanced handling, and have the wheel alignment checked afterwards — worn dampers often allow geometry to drift out of specification. Every part is dispatched from our UK warehouse with a 30-day money-back guarantee and free hassle-free returns.

What specifications does this GH Shock Absorber have?

This GH Shock Absorber has the following specifications: Fitting Position: VR; Fitting Position: VA; Fitting Position: VL; Shock Absorber Type: 2; Shock Absorber Design: 4; Shock Absorber System: 2. Check the full specifications table above for complete details.

What OE part numbers does this Shock Absorber replace?

This Shock Absorber replaces OE part numbers: 1K0413031AC, 1K0413031AD, 1K0413031AE, 1K0413031AF, 1K0413031AH, 1K0413031AJ, 1K0413031AP, 1K0413031AQ and 496 more. Cross-reference these numbers with your vehicle's original part number to confirm compatibility.

How much does a Shock Absorber cost?

This GH Shock Absorber is available for £42.99. Shock Absorber prices vary depending on brand, specifications, and vehicle compatibility. GH parts offer a balance of quality and value, backed by our 14-day money-back guarantee.

How do I know when to replace my Shock Absorber?

Look for excessive bouncing over bumps, nose-diving during braking, uneven tyre wear, fluid leaks on the shock body, or poor handling. Shocks should be inspected every 50,000 miles.

What tools do I need to replace a Shock Absorber?

Tools needed: floor jack, axle stands, 18-21mm socket for wheel bolts, spring compressor (if top mount must be removed), 17-19mm open-end spanner for shock piston nut, torque wrench. Difficulty: Moderate DIY. Safety warning: Coil springs store enormous energy -- only use purpose-built automotive spring compressors rated for the load. A spring released unexpectedly can cause fatal injury. Never improvise with non-rated tools.

Can I use this part as a replacement for OE 1K0413031AC?

Yes, this GH Shock Absorber is a direct replacement for OE part number 1K0413031AC. It is manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment specifications, ensuring proper fitment and performance. All cross-reference data is verified through TecDoc.
