What is the main purpose of the KYB Excel-G shock absorber?

The primary goal of the KYB Excel-G shock absorber is to restore your vehicle's original ride control, stability, and handling capabilities. It's designed to bring the car back to its factory-designed performance, not to alter it.

Why does KYB recommend installing new strut mounts?

KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, such as their part number SM5646, along with the shocks. This helps to reduce the potential for noise and vibration issues that can arise from worn mounts.

What does the OEA classification mean for this shock absorber?

OEA stands for Original Equipment for the Aftermarket. This classification indicates that the KYB Excel-G shock absorber is manufactured on the same assembly lines, with the same quality components, as the shocks KYB supplies directly to vehicle manufacturers for new cars.

Product Details

If you're looking to bring your 2012-2015 Volkswagen Beetle's ride back to how it felt when it rolled off the assembly line, this KYB Excel-G rear shock absorber is a solid option. KYB is a major supplier to car manufacturers, and these shocks are built on the same lines using the same quality parts as original equipment. The main goal here is to restore your Beetle's original handling, stability, and stopping ability, not to change it. This means you get back the predictable control and comfortable ride you're used to.

The Excel-G uses a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design, which helps maintain consistent performance. It's built with the same attention to detail as the shocks KYB supplies directly to car makers, earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification. This is a popular choice among professional mechanics because it's known for restoring factory-like performance accurately.

When you're replacing your rear shocks, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts at the same time, like their part number SM5646, to help reduce the chance of noise and vibration down the road.
