KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:3440137
Give your 2012-2015 Volkswagen Beetle back its designed ride control with the KYB Excel-G KYB shock absorber, part number 3430019 — a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas shock built to restore the vehicle's original stability, stopping, lane-change response and handling rather than change it. It installs as a direct-fit rear replacement for the listed Beetle applications; see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level coverage.
KYB is a world-leading OE supplier, and the Excel-G is made on the same OE assembly lines with OE-quality components, earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
This is a rear-position gas shock. For even, balanced handling, replacing both rear units as a matched pair is recommended; sold individually — this listing is for one.
