FAQs
Why must these shock absorbers be replaced in pairs?
Replacing shock absorbers in pairs ensures that damping forces are balanced on both sides of the rear axle. Installing a single new shock with an old one can lead to uneven handling, reduced stability, and premature wear on the new component.
How do I confirm if this part fits my car?
Check your vehicle's VIN against the specified range (from 3B-YE 121 222 to 4B-W-037 283) and confirm your model is listed (VW Passat, Audi A6 C5, Skoda Superb). Comparing original part numbers is also recommended.
What is the difference between gas pressure and oil-filled shock absorbers?
Gas pressure shock absorbers use nitrogen gas to prevent oil foaming under heavy use, providing more consistent damping performance, especially during spirited driving or heavy loads, compared to traditional oil-filled types.
Are these suitable for lowered or performance suspension setups?
No, these MEYLE shock absorbers are designed for vehicles with standard suspension systems and are not intended for use with lowered springs or performance-tuned suspension setups.
What is the typical lifespan of these shock absorbers?
The lifespan of shock absorbers varies depending on driving conditions, road quality, and vehicle load. However, MEYLE products are known for their durability, aiming to provide a long service life under normal operating conditions.
Do I need to replace any other parts when installing new shock absorbers?
It is often recommended to inspect and potentially replace suspension mounting hardware, bushings, and bump stops at the same time. The recommended accessory part number 100 740 0007 may be relevant for installation hardware.
Troubleshooting
Vehicle handling feels unstable or bouncy.
Worn shock absorbers are likely the cause. Ensure these MEYLE shocks were installed correctly in pairs and are the appropriate part number for your vehicle.
Noise from the rear suspension.
This could indicate worn shock absorbers or related mounting components. Check for proper installation and condition of bushings and mounts.
Visible fluid leaks on the shock absorber body.
Fluid leaks indicate a compromised seal and that the shock absorber needs immediate replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Check: Before installation, verify your vehicle's VIN falls within the specified range (from 3B-YE 121 222 and up to 4B-W-037 283). Ensure your vehicle model is listed: VW Passat (3B2, 3B3, 3B5, 3B6), Audi A6 (4B2, 4B5, C5), or Skoda Superb (3U4). Compare the original part numbers to confirm fitment.
Installation: These shock absorbers must be replaced in pairs. It is highly recommended to have installation performed by a qualified mechanic to ensure proper alignment and safety.
Recommended Accessories: Consider using part number 100 740 0007 for installation hardware if needed.
Care: Shock absorbers are generally maintenance-free. However, regularly inspect them for signs of leaks, damage, or corrosion. Keep the surrounding area clean to prevent dirt buildup.
