What is the main purpose of the KYB Excel-G shocks?

The primary goal of KYB Excel-G shocks is to restore your vehicle's original ride control, stability, and handling. They are designed to bring your van back to its factory performance levels, not to alter them.

Are these shocks built to the same standards as original equipment?

Yes, KYB manufactures these Excel-G shocks on the very same assembly lines and uses the same quality components as they do for their original equipment (OE) parts supplied to vehicle manufacturers.

What does the 'nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design' mean for my van?

This design helps to prevent fluid aeration, which can lead to shock fade, especially under demanding conditions. It contributes to consistent performance and helps maintain the shock's effectiveness over time.

Product Details

The strut bodies and brackets on these KYB Excel-G front shocks are notably strong and thick, which helps maintain proper alignment even when the road gets rough. These shocks are built to bring your 1980-1991 Volkswagen Vanagon back to its original factory ride control and handling capabilities. KYB makes these shocks on the same assembly lines and with the same quality components they use for original equipment manufacturers, so you're getting a part designed to perform just like the one that came on your van from the factory. They use a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design, which is a popular choice among professional technicians for its reliability and performance in restoring a vehicle's original driving feel.

Restoring your Vanagon's stability, stopping power, and lane change responsiveness is critical, and these shocks are calibrated specifically for that purpose. They aren't designed to change your van's handling characteristics, but rather to bring them back to their designed performance levels. This makes them a solid option if you're looking to replace worn-out shocks and bring back that confident, controlled feeling to your driving experience.
