Restore the designed control and handling of your Volkswagen with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Shock Absorber 345006, a nitrogen gas-charged unit for the front position. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1980-1991 Volkswagen Vanagon and the 1985-1991 Volkswagen Transporter — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. Ride comfort matters, but the Excel-G is built for the critical job of restoring a vehicle's ride control, stability, stopping, lane-change responsiveness and handling — calibrated to return original designed performance, not change it.

  • OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket): made on the very same KYB OE assembly lines, using the same OE-quality components as KYB's global OEM products.
  • Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: includes every quality component found in KYB's OEM products and is a preferred choice among professional technicians.
  • Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
  • Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to correctly manage tire contact, steering response and body movement, helping keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.

KYB uses among the strongest, thickest strut bodies and brackets in the industry to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
