REPLACEMENT STOCK SHOCKS

Engineered for Every Generation We provide technical suspension solutions for the entire range of air-cooled Volkswagens:

• King Pin & Ball Joint Front Ends: We stock specific front shocks for early King Pin (1946–1965) and later Ball Joint (1966–1977) front axles. Available in both traditional oil-filled and modern gas-filled versions, these shocks ensure your steering remains steady and your front tires stay planted.

• Swing Axle & IRS Rear Suspension: Restore the stability of your rear end with high-quality rear shocks for both Swing Axle and Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) configurations. We carry standard-height units as well as specialized options for lowered or long-travel setups.

• Super Beetle Struts & Inserts: For late-model Type 1s, we offer a full selection of strut cartridges, upper strut mounts, and rubber stops. These are essential for eliminating the "Super Beetle shimmy" and restoring the precise handling of the MacPherson strut design.

• Bus & Transporter Heavy-Duty Shocks: Give your Type 2 Bus the support it needs with heavy-duty shocks designed to handle the unique weight distribution of the Transporter, Camper, and Vanagon.

The Choice of Top Brands Our inventory features trusted names in the suspension industry, including KYB, Koni, EMPI, and IAP. Choose Oil-Filled Shocks for the most authentic "soft" factory feel, or upgrade to Gas-Filled Shocks (such as the KYB Excel-G or Gas-A-Just) for improved response and consistent damping during spirited driving. Each shock is built to withstand the rigors of the road, featuring durable seals and high-tensile shafts.
