VW Polo9n Polo6r Vivo 2002-2009 Left=right Rear Shock Absorbers are designed to support the rear suspension of Volkswagen Polo models produced between 2002 and 2009. These shock absorbers sit at the rear of the vehicle on the right-hand side, playing a crucial role in controlling the vehicle’s ride and handling by dampening road impact and maintaining tire contact with the road.

This product falls under the bonnet shock category but specifically addresses rear suspension needs, meaning it helps absorb shocks from bumps and uneven surfaces, reducing wear on other chassis components and improving passenger comfort. It is important to note that these shock absorbers are for the VW Polo9n and Polo6r Vivo models, covering a production range from 2002 through 2009, and should be compared carefully with the existing parts based on side, position, and year range.

Buyers should verify that the replacement matches the exact side and rear positioning on their vehicle. If in doubt, consult the sales desk or submit a request for a specific part to ensure proper match. This unit is branded under VW/Volkswagen, aligning with the vehicle’s make for compatibility checks.

  • Fits rear right-hand side of VW Polo9n and Polo6r Vivo (2002-2009)
  • Category: Bonnet shock absorber type, specific to rear suspension needs
  • Use confirmed SKU BB-291867 for accurate referencing

If this repair may need matching clips, brackets, lights, panels or more than one part, check more Bonnet Shock, Quick Repair Bundle or Request a Part before ordering.

Helpful product answers
Are these shock absorbers compatible with both left and right rear sides of the VW Polo 9N and Polo 6R Vivo from 2002 to 2009?
Yes, these rear shock absorbers are designed to fit both the left and right sides of VW Polo 9N and Polo 6R Vivo models manufactured between 2002 and 2009. This ensures a straightforward replacement without needing separate parts for each side.
What is the recommended procedure for installing these rear shock absorbers on a VW Polo 9N or Polo 6R Vivo?
When installing these shock absorbers, ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported. Remove the old shocks carefully, avoiding damage to mounting points. A common mistake is not tightening bolts to the correct torque, which can cause premature wear or noise. Always follow manufacturer torque specs and check for any signs of wear on related suspension components.

These shock absorbers are specifically designed for VW Polo 9N and Polo 6R Vivo models from 2002 to 2009. Using them on other models or years is not recommended as fitment and performance may be compromised. For other models, consult with our Trade Partners or check the product catalog for compatible parts.

Is there a recommended maintenance schedule for these rear shock absorbers on the VW Polo 9N and Polo 6R Vivo?
