KYB Suspension Strut P/N:341211
KYB 734033 front suspension strut assembly for the 1999-2005 Volkswagen Jetta and other vehicles lets you set the damping rate by hand. This KYB strut assembly has velocity-sensitive damping valves that react to driving conditions to maintain tire contact and vehicle control.
Repeated bouncing after bumps, fluid on the strut body or uneven tire wear can mean a front strut is worn. Tires, springs and strut mounts can also produce bouncing or uneven wear, so track down the cause before you buy.
This KYB suspension strut assembly fits the 1999-2005 Volkswagen Jetta, the 1999-2006 Volkswagen Golf and the 1998-2010 Volkswagen Beetle, among other vehicles. The 1999-2005 Volkswagen Jetta takes two front struts, so order two and fit them together.
