Help control the rear ride with the KYB shock absorber KG5449, a Gas-a-just high-pressure monotube gas shock. It installs as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1980-1983 Volkswagen Rabbit Pickup — see the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the engine and application for your vehicle.

• Gas-a-just monotube design: two separate working chambers — an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston for a comfortable ride during normal driving and added performance on demand.
• Fade-free operation: the high-pressure monotube separates the gas and oil for consistent response, and the higher gas pressure responds quickly to help improve steering response.
• Triple chrome plated piston rod: an ultra-smooth rod helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
• Extra damping capacity: adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks, with components and valving designed specifically for your Volkswagen.

As a KYB gas shock absorber, it also helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed, since those systems depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires operating as the manufacturer intended.
