KYB Shocks & Struts Excel-G Front AUDI A6 1998 VOLKSWAGEN Passat 1998-00

If you're working on a 1998-2000 Volkswagen Passat, these KYB Excel-G front shocks are designed to bring back the original feel and control of your vehicle. KYB is a major supplier to car manufacturers, and these shocks are built on the same assembly lines using the same quality parts as the ones that came on your car from the factory. The goal here isn't to change how your Passat handles, but to restore its designed performance for stable driving, confident braking, and responsive steering.

These are a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design, which is a common and reliable setup for everyday driving. They are calibrated to match your Passat's original specifications, meaning you'll get back the ride comfort and handling characteristics that were engineered into the car. Because they are made to OE standards, professional technicians often choose them when they need to replace worn-out shocks and struts.

When installing new front struts, it's a good idea to protect them from dirt and road debris. You can pick up a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB122, to help keep your new shocks clean and functioning well for longer.
