I have a right rear strut coil spring break at the strut tube bottom spring support. Glad to have found brand new springs at partsgeek.com, great service. First I called my local salvage yard for my 2004 Passat wagon 4motion and they pulled one off a car they had and told me that their's was...

05 passat. Been chasing clunk clunk between shifts and bumps for months. All new control arms(bottoms bad) and inner and outter tres(inners bad) now doing struts. Is there supposed to be this much play?

My hood strut won't hold the hood up. I noticed this after I had the car Krown Coated. My local shop wants CAD $130 + 13% tax for parts and labour. How much does this strut cost? And surely it's a bolt and the top and bottom and you're done? I've looked on Amazon and eBay but can't find...

Looking to buy (2) of these for a B5.5 Anybody that's parting out a car...

Hello passatworld, I recently replaced both front struts with used used ones from the junk yard (whole assembly). The passenger side is not making any noise. The driver's side is clunking even on non-bumpy road. You can hear the noise here as I was pressing down on it...

I have a C5 A6 strut bar for sale. The C5 A6 factory strut bar fits the b5/b5.5 Passat with a little modification.* Includes the bar and two mounting brackets.. *Can explain the mod if needed $80 shipped Will add pics..

Hey guys, first-off yes I have searched. My 2003 Wagon has 120,000 miles on it and the struts need to be replaced. I've pretty much settled on Bilstein's for the struts so that's taken care of. But unfortunately in my search results most of the threads are quite old. In one of those old results...

Do they still make strut tower braces for the b5.5?

WTB: Passat W8 chrome hood lift strut 3B0823359C (want to buy several used or one new)

Hi everyone, I began to hear popping sound on the passenger side wheel about 3 months ago. It would manifest itself when I made turns especially as I turn the steering wheel. Naturally I thought it was the axle. Today I was changing the oil and decided to take a pic of the boots on both side. I...

Quick question for those that have done the rear struts on the 4motion. I've re-assembled my first strut, but the 'hat' is sitting a bit cock-eye'd. Is that normal? Or is the hat tweaked? I can't remember what it looked like when i took it out of the car. :/ You can really tell when you...

Hey guys and gals, Does anyone have a list of tools needed (mainly star/torx heads) to replace my strut bearings? I have the "pop" noise coming from my front end when I turn the wheel. I was told by a VW mechanic that's my culprit. I may go ahead and replace the shocks while I have everything...

I was looking at the bilstien touring strut for my car and they have a sport 19-119939 and a standard suspension version 19-119922. Ecs lists the sports suspension one to my car. They even claim it will fit. Bilstien themselves say no it won't. I found that the standard suspension strut is a...

The cover on top of the front strut mount, under the plenum (rain cover). Does anyone know the part no and where to get it from.

I recently had my whole front end redone. I have a 99 2.8 passat. My mechanic said he didnt like the way the strut fit in the spring on the struts I brought. Recently I hear a very very loud bang or pop sound and he says he feel like its the strut getting in a bind. Does anyone have a...

Here's what I'm looking at buying? Aside from the struts themselves, are all the other components listed below necessary and are there any other brands I should consider? Also, supposedly the Bilstein struts below are made to work on sport suspension or standard, but I'm curious as to how to...

For the past year since I swapped my suspension on my b5.5 Passat my strut cap hat has split like a peeled banana and is causing a clunking noise. I'm wondering if I can install an older b5.5 style to eliminate this issue? The strut mount is made out of aluminium and is flimsy the b5 is...

I remembered I had this in my closet, and since I haven't owned a Passat for over a year now clearly I have no need for it. I bought it from one of the forum members on here, and I vaguely remember something about it being modified to fit a B5, but honestly I can't remember the details. It fit...

Never used VW (Sachs) front strut (w/sport suspension). $95 OBO plus shipping.

Dealer is quoting me $627 to replace. I have the goodwill package credit so I was already in there to get those activated. Have the clicking/clunking while turning the steering wheel while parked. Wife took the car in so I didn't get a chance to look at it. I am pretty mechanical, have...
