Will this fit my car?

It fits the listed Audi A3 and A3 Quattro (2006–2013) and several VW models including GTI, Beetle, EOS, Golf, Jetta, Passat, Rabbit and CC. Your car must have the 55 mm lower strut housing and must not have magnetic ride or adaptive chassis control.

Does it work on sport suspension cars?

No. The listing excludes sport suspension on the Jetta, Passat, Rabbit and CC, and excludes electronic adaptive chassis control on the EOS and Jetta. Check your build before ordering.

Two front shock absorber assemblies, one for each side. The spring and top mount come pre-assembled.

Do I need a spring compressor to install it?

No. Because each strut comes fully assembled, you unbolt the old unit and bolt the new one in. An alignment afterward is still recommended.

Is it a direct replacement for part 172311?

Yes, the listing gives 172311 as the interchange part number, so it cross-references to that strut.

Our take on the MOSTPLUS Front Shock Struts Assembly Automotive Specialty Parts, Black, 2 Piece

The MOSTPLUS front strut assembly is a pair of complete front struts for a range of Audi and Volkswagen models, sold as a two-piece set. Each unit comes pre-assembled with the spring and mount, so it replaces the whole front corner rather than just the damper. It fits cars with the 55 mm lower strut housing and is not for models with magnetic ride or adaptive chassis control. It suits owners of aging A3, Golf, Jetta, Passat and similar cars who want a straightforward bolt-in refresh rather than a spring compressor job.
