Shock absorber, front, gas-filled | VW Beetle, KG 08/65-, Type 181
This gas-filled front shock absorber gives your Beetle or Karmann Ghia much more stable road holding than standard suspension. The gas filling better dampens bumps and reduces a swaying sensation in crosswinds - which makes a big difference - especially on the highway. Perfect for those who not only want to preserve their classic car but also want a more comfortable ride. Combine these with the same version for the rear for consistent handling across all four wheels.
- ✓Gas-filled – for better pressure stability and prevention of cavitation
- ✓Dimensions: compressed 340mm - extended 450mm
- ✓Suitable for VW Beetle and Karmann Ghia from 08/1965
- ✓Front axle application
