KYB Suspension Strut Cartridge P/N:361003
Restore the factory-tuned ride control of your Volkswagen Super Beetle with the KYB Excel-G Gas Cartridge 363002, a front suspension strut cartridge built to bring damping back to the vehicle's original design. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1973-1980 Volkswagen Super Beetle (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details). KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original performance rather than change it — earning the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
Protect your new strut from dirt, debris and salt with a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB101.
