Dial in your own ride control with the KYB AGX Adjustable Suspension Strut (P/N 734033), a FRONT strut that installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 1998-2010 Volkswagen Beetle, 1999-2006 Volkswagen Golf, 1999-2005 Volkswagen Jetta, and 2004 Volkswagen R32 (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications). Designed for enthusiasts, the AGX lets you adjust individual corner damping without special tools — externally, without lifting the vehicle or removing the tires.
- Manually adjustable damping: can be set to add up to 125% more damping force than the OEM design, using either an eight-position knob or a four-position screwdriver slot depending on application; one adjustment changes both rebound and compression.
- Velocity-sensitive valving: precision multi-stage hydraulic valves react to driving conditions across a broad performance range, on the street or track.
- Built for a positive seal: a seamless working cylinder is matched with a Teflon-coated piston band for a positive seal and longer life.
- ESC/ABS aware: engineered to help vehicles equipped with electronic safety systems such as ESC and ABS.
To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5578), and you can protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB123).
