Car Feels so much tighter in corners and at higher speeds! - 15' VW Passat Limited, heavily modified, Handles great! Review: 2011 GTI- old nut doesn’t fit. Didn’t come with a new proper nut - I’m really upset. Why would you ship something without the proper fitting parts for it! Update: I ordered two. The other one included the the proper nut. So maybe they forgot the nut in one box or maybe I somehow misplaced it. It was wrapped separately in a little plastic bag. Genius. Update: I found the missing nut. I’m sorry. You know how frustrating it gets fixing an old car lol. ## Features - twin-tubeTechnology, designed for European cars - Specifically calibrated to help restore the original handling and control characteristics of your Volkswagen - Uses a seamless working cylinder matched with a Teflon coated piston band for a positive seal and longer life - Triple chrome plated piston rod and multi-lip oil seals that reduce wear - Solid seamless mounting eye rings and bolt bushings to eliminate rattles - Fit type: Vehicle Specific ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001C9OX1A | | Auto Part Position | Rear | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,273,072 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #903 in Automotive Performance Shocks, Struts & Suspension #6,123 in Automotive Replacement Shocks | | Brand | KYB | | Brand Name | KYB | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Car | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 96 Reviews | | Extended Length | 23.23 Inches | | Exterior Finish | Machined | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00781552154129 | | Included Components | Shocks and Struts | | Item Type Name | Shocks and Struts | | Item Weight | 2.3 Pounds | | Manufacturer | KYB | | Manufacturer Part Number | 344459 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | KYB Limited Warranty warrants to the original retail purchaser that each new KYB product purchased from an authorized KYB dealer shall be free from defects for the specific periods listed below, when used on private passenger vehicles and light trucks for personal use under normal operating conditions.
