Bilstein B1 strut support bearing — 12-117239

Collection: Volkswagen Golf Suspension Parts

The Volkswagen Golf has run across eight generations, each on a unique platform. The Mk4 (chassis 1J, 1997–2006), Mk5 (1K, 2003–2009), Mk6 (5K, 2008–2013), Mk7 (AU, 2012–2020), and Mk8 (CD1, 2019–present) each require generation-specific struts and shocks. Earlier Mk3 (1H/1E) and Mk1/Mk2 cars use different geometry again. Confirm your generation using the fourth character of your VIN or the door pillar type-plate build year.

How to choose

The Bilstein B4 is the OE-comparable replacement for a Golf that has developed a floaty or wallowy ride. The B6 suits drivers who want noticeably firmer handling from stock ride height. Tein coilovers are the pick for anyone lowering the car or wanting spring-rate and height adjustability.
