Purpose and function in the air suspension system

The presented component combines the function of an air spring and a shock absorber in one housing, operating in the rear right part of the suspension. It is responsible for maintaining the set vehicle height, damping vibrations, and stabilizing the vehicle during acceleration, braking, and traversing uneven surfaces. A properly selected rear right air shock absorber is crucial for:

• maintaining an even vehicle level under various loads,
• preserving the driving comfort typical of the premium segment,
• reducing body roll in corners,
• proper interaction with the suspension control electronics.

Benefits of using an original Volkswagen component

The original Volkswagen component ensures compliance with factory vehicle parameters, which translates into predictable vehicle behavior on the road. Using the correct rear right air shock absorber allows you to:

• restore proper suspension operation after a failure or wear of the previous component,
• minimize the risk of adaptive suspension system errors,
• maintain proper cooperation with other air springs and shock absorbers in the vehicle,
• reduce noise and vibrations transmitted to the body.

The product belongs to the Shock absorbers and struts group, meaning it was designed as an integral part of the system responsible for damping vibrations and wheel guidance.

Condition, fitment, and installation

The offered item is in used condition, which allows for an economical repair while maintaining the original design. The placement on the vehicle is the rear right side; therefore, before installation, it is worth verifying compatibility with your specific Phaeton model, particularly regarding the body version and air suspension configuration. A properly selected and installed air spring with shock absorber:

• restores rear axle stability,
• eliminates the sagging of one side of the vehicle after parking,
• ensures even damping on both sides of the axle.
