KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:441600
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.
KYB uses among the strongest, thickest strut bodies and brackets in the industry to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
