Gas-a-Just Front Shock Absorber

The KYB Gas-a-Just KG4520 is a front shock absorber engineered to upgrade the performance and handling of Volkswagen Beetle, Karmann Ghia, and Thing models. The Gas-a-Just shocks provide a firmer ride and superior performance compared to traditional twin-tube shocks. Its high-pressure nitrogen gas design within the monotube construction eliminates aeration, ensuring consistent performance and quicker response times. The increased damping force automatically adjusts to changing road conditions, offering more precise control and stability, especially in demanding driving situations. Further enhancing durability and performance, the shock features a seamless working cylinder manufactured from a single piece of steel to reduce leaks, and a triple-chrome plated piston rod for strength and corrosion resistance. Key benefits of the KG4520 include superior handling and a more responsive ride, improving cornering ability. The improved stability is achieved by reducing body roll and sway, leading to better vehicle control in all driving conditions. Its heavy-duty construction and monotube design ensure quick and consistent response, contributing to a smoother and more controlled ride, alongside long-lasting durability. Specifications for the KG4520 include a compressed length of 12.01 inches, an extended length of 17.32 inches, a stroke length of 5.31 inches, an internal rebound spring of 'N', a lower mount type of E2(12x32), and an upper mount type of S1. This shock absorber is compatible with various Volkswagen models including the Beetle (1966-1977), Karmann Ghia (1966-1974), and Thing (1973-1974), with specific fitments noted for different engine sizes and drive types.
