KYB Suspension Strut Cartridge P/N:361003
Restore firm, controlled damping to your Volkswagen Super Beetle with the KYB strut cartridge (MPN 363002), a nitrogen gas-charged replacement insert from KYB's Excel-G line. It drops in as a front-position gas cartridge for the 1973-1980 Volkswagen Super Beetle. KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and Excel-G is built to restore the vehicle's original, designed damping performance — not change it.
Classified OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) and the preferred choice of professional technicians, this is a KYB-recommended OEM replacement gas cartridge. If worn damping — clunks, excessive body movement or a bouncy ride — traces to a failed original cartridge, this replaces it. Protect the assembly with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB101).
