Smooth out every bump and keep your classic VW planted with the KYB Gas-a-just Shock Absorber KG5530, a high-pressure monotube gas shock that drops in as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1968-1974 Volkswagen Campmobile and the 1968-1979 Volkswagen Transporter. This KYB shock absorber uses a monotube design with 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 — so it resists fade from aeration and adds damping on demand.

  • Monotube gas design: High pressure separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
  • Extra damping: Adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks, with valving designed specifically for your Volkswagen.
  • Durable rod: An ultra-smooth triple chrome plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear, a common cause of shock failure from fluid leaking.
  • Built to tow and work: Gas-a-just monotubes add damping over the OE design for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.

The higher gas pressure of the KYB Gas-a-just responds quickly to help improve steering response and helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed. Signs the original rear shock may need replacing include excessive bounce, nose dive, or fluid weeping at the body.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this KYB gas shock absorber fit my vehicle?

It is a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1968-1974 Volkswagen Campmobile and 1968-1979 Volkswagen Transporter. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact model.

Is KG5530 a front or rear shock?

This is a rear shock absorber. For even handling, it's best to replace shocks as an axle pair, though each unit is sold individually.

What makes the KYB Excel-G Gas-a-just monotube different?

Its high-pressure monotube Gas-a-just design separates the gas and oil in two chambers for fade-free operation and instant response, unlike a traditional twin-tube shock.

How much damping does it add over stock?

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

What are signs my old shock needs replacing?

Common signs include excessive bouncing, nose dive under braking, poor ride control, or fluid weeping at the shock body. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
