KYB Suspension Strut Cartridge P/N:361004
Restore the ride control on your classic air-cooled VW with the KYB strut cartridge 363012, an Excel-G gas cartridge that installs in the front position on the 1971-1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle. This nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube cartridge is built to KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) standard — calibrated to restore the vehicle's original designed performance, not change it.
Twin-tube gas design: Nitrogen gas-charged construction that includes the quality components found in KYB's global OEM products, the preferred choice of professional technicians.
Triple-lip fluid seal: Designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out of the cartridge.
Hand-assembled damping valves: Vehicle-specific valving assembled in-house to help manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
OEM-replacement cartridge: A KYB-recommended OEM replacement gas cartridge that helps restore the designed control and handling of your vehicle.
If worn front dampers are the cause of poor ride control, excessive body movement or reduced stability, this cartridge replaces the original. Protect your struts with a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB101.
