Sachs 115 481 Twin-Tube Front Shock Absorber

The Sachs 115 481 is an OE-quality twin-tube front shock absorber designed to restore factory ride comfort and handling precision. Manufactured by Sachs — a ZF Friedrichshafen company with a legacy of supplying dampers to major automotive manufacturers worldwide — this shock absorber is engineered to meet original equipment standards in fit, form, and function.

Twin-Tube Design:

The 115 481 features a twin-tube hydraulic damping design with two oil-filled cavities: a working cylinder where the piston and piston rod operate, and a surrounding compensating reservoir filled approximately two-thirds with oil and one-third with air or gas. This configuration allows for a more compact installed length compared to monotube equivalents while delivering consistent, controlled damping performance.

Key Features:

• Twin-tube hydraulic construction for reliable, consistent damping
• OE-quality engineering built to original manufacturer specifications
• Front axle fitment — pin-type upper mount
• Safety-critical component that reduces suspension spring oscillation and minimizes vehicle body movement
• Compatible with OEM part numbers 5012354, 5012355, and 5012356

Sachs shock absorbers are a trusted choice for restoring proper suspension performance, improving road grip, and maintaining safe, predictable handling characteristics.
