Rear Shock Absorber for 1985-1991 Volkswagen Transporter & More - KYB KG5557

Restore rear-end damping and control with the KYB shock absorber KG5557, a high-pressure monotube Gas-a-just unit offered as an OE monotube replacement to help return your vehicle's original capabilities. This KYB gas shock absorber drops in as a rear-position replacement for the 1980-1991 Volkswagen Vanagon and 1985-1991 Volkswagen Transporter, with components and valving designed specifically for your Volkswagen.

• High-pressure monotube design: separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
• Two working chambers: an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston for a comfortable ride during normal driving and performance on demand.
• Triple chrome-plated piston rod: an ultra-smooth rod that reduces seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
• Added damping: adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks, with extra damping over the OE design for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.

The higher gas pressure responds quickly to improve steering response, and the KYB Gas-a-just helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed. Sold individually; replace both rear shocks together as a matched pair for even, balanced control.
