Description


Step up your Volkswagen's suspension game with the KYB Gas-a-Just Rear Suspension Shock Absorber (KG5529). Designed specifically for Volkswagen models like the Beetle, Karmann Ghia, and Transporter from '52 to '80, this high-pressure monotube shock absorber offers unparalleled extras in performance and reliability over standard twin-tube designs. Its advanced engineering ensures your vehicle reacts instantly to the demands of varied driving conditions, improving your ride's precision, safety, and comfort. The Gas-a-Just shock is equipped with dual working chambers consisting of an air-free hydraulic piston and a high-pressure nitrogen gas area, which prevents aeration and assures fade-free operation.

Stay in control of your vehicle with steering that responds quickly to your every move, and meet challenging terrains head-on with confidence. Ideal for vehicles frequently handling loads, towing, or fitted with larger tires.
