Dial in your own rear ride control with the KYB AGX Suspension Shock Absorber 743029, a manually-adjustable REAR shock for enthusiasts. It's a direct-fit rear application for the 2000-2006 Audi TT, 1998-2010 Volkswagen Beetle, 1999-2006 Volkswagen Golf, 2007-2009 Volkswagen Golf City, 1999-2005 Volkswagen Jetta, 2007-2009 Volkswagen Jetta City, and 2004 Volkswagen R32 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
- Adjustable damping: Set individual corner damping without special tools; KYB states the AGX can add up to 125% more damping force than the vehicle's OEM design, using an eight-position knob or a four-position screwdriver slot depending on application. One adjustment increases both rebound and compression.
- Externally adjustable: Change settings without lifting the vehicle or removing the tires.
- Velocity-sensitive valving: Precision multi-stage hydraulic valves react to driving conditions to help maintain tire contact and vehicle control on the street or track.
- Built to last: A seamless working cylinder paired with a Teflon-coated piston band gives a positive seal and longer life.
Engineered to help vehicles equipped with electronic safety systems such as ESC and ABS. To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, part number SM5182.
