Description

Restore factory-designed ride control with the KYB shock absorber Excel-G (P/N 343144), a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube damper built to bring your classic Volkswagen's handling, stability and lane-change response back to how it was engineered — not to change it. This KYB gas shock absorber is cataloged in both FRONT and REAR positions and drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1952-1977 Volkswagen Beetle, 1955-1974 Karmann Ghia, 1955-1979 Transporter, 1966-1973 Fastback, 1966-1973 Squareback, 1968-1974 Campmobile, 1971-1980 Super Beetle and 1973-1974 Thing. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and to confirm the correct position for your vehicle.

KYB-recommended OEM replacement and a preferred choice of professional technicians.
