KYB Shocks & Struts Gas-A-Just Rear VOLKSWAGEN Thing 1973-75 VOLKSWAGEN Type 1 - Beetle (Original) S

When you're looking to restore the ride and handling on your classic Volkswagen Beetle, Thing, or similar model, a good set of rear shock absorbers makes a big difference. The KYB Gas-a-just monotube shock absorber is built to give you a responsive feel without sacrificing comfort. It uses a high-pressure nitrogen gas charge and a floating piston to automatically adjust to your driving needs, providing better control when you need it and a smoother ride during everyday cruising.

Unlike older twin-tube designs that can lose effectiveness when they heat up, the Gas-a-just uses a monotube construction with separate working chambers. One chamber handles the hydraulic piston and valving for precise control, while the other holds the high-pressure gas. This design helps prevent fade, meaning the shock absorber maintains its performance even during spirited driving or on rougher roads. This helps keep your vehicle's electronic safety systems working as the manufacturer intended, as they rely on consistent suspension performance.
