KYB Shocks & Struts Excel-G Front VOLKSWAGEN Tiguan 2014-2009

Starting with a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design, these KYB Excel-G front struts are built to bring your 2009-2017 Volkswagen Tiguan back to its original factory ride control and handling capabilities. When your struts wear out, you might notice a difference in how your vehicle handles sudden stops, lane changes, or even just everyday bumps. These struts are made on the same assembly lines and with the same quality components as the original equipment KYB supplies to Volkswagen, meaning they're calibrated to restore that original feel, not alter it.

This twin-tube design is a well-known and reliable construction for shock absorbers, and the nitrogen gas charge helps prevent the oil and gas from mixing, which can lead to performance loss, especially under demanding conditions. Because these are designed to match the original equipment specifications, they are a popular choice for professional technicians looking to restore a vehicle's factory-intended performance. They focus on restoring critical aspects like stability, stopping distance, and lane-change responsiveness.

When you're replacing your front struts, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, part number SM5567, at the same time. This helps ensure a quiet ride and prevents potential noise and vibration issues down the road.
