Firm up your ride with the KYB Gas-a-just KYB shock absorber KG4520, a high-pressure monotube gas shock that fits the FRONT position of the 1966-1977 Volkswagen Beetle, the 1966-1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, and the 1973-1974 Volkswagen Thing. The Gas-a-just monotube separates the nitrogen gas and hydraulic oil, so it resists fade from aeration and responds instantly during normal driving.

  • Monotube gas design: A high-pressure nitrogen chamber with a floating piston keeps the oil and gas separated for fade-free operation and quick response.
  • Two working chambers: An air-free hydraulic piston/valve area handles control, while the high-pressure gas area adds damping on demand.
  • Triple chrome-plated piston rod: The ultra-smooth rod is designed to reduce seal wear, since leaking fluid can be a cause of shock failure.
  • Volkswagen-specific tuning: Components and valving designed specifically for your Volkswagen, adding up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks.

The higher gas pressure of this KYB gas shock absorber is designed to improve steering response. Its firmer damping also suits vehicles that work, tow, or run larger, heavier tires and wheels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which vehicles does the KYB KG4520 shock fit?

It fits the FRONT position of the 1966-1977 Volkswagen Beetle, 1966-1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, and 1973-1974 Volkswagen Thing. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.

What is a Gas-a-just monotube shock?

It is a high-pressure monotube gas shock that separates the nitrogen gas and hydraulic oil in one tube, giving fade-free operation and instant response instead of a traditional twin-tube layout.

How is this different from a standard OE shock?

KYB states the Gas-a-just adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks, with components and valving designed specifically for your Volkswagen.

Do I need to replace both front shocks?

Shocks are sold individually; this listing is for one. Replacing both sides on the same axle as a matched pair is recommended for balanced, even handling.

What numbers does the KG4520 replace, and what about KYB shock absorber price?

It cross-references interchange numbers 82005 and 31538. Pricing is shown on this listing; compare it against those interchange numbers to confirm the right fit.
