The KYB Gas-Adjust KG5529 is a heavy-duty, gas-pressurised shock absorber designed to provide firmer, more controlled suspension performance—ideal for heavier vehicles such as Splitscreen and Baywindow Buses, as well as the rear of Beetles, Ghias, Type 3s, and Buggies that need additional support.

Despite the name, Gas-Adjust shocks are NOT adjustable. Instead, they use a monotube high-pressure gas design that instantly reacts to road conditions, offering improved stability, reduced body roll, and better load handling compared to oil shocks. In independent testing by Volksworld magazine, KYB shocks ranked top for performance, making them a trusted choice for both restored classics and hard-working vintage VWs.

With their stronger damping characteristics, these shocks are perfect for:

• Heavier campers and fully loaded vans

• Vehicles with roof racks or towing equipment

• Aircooled VWs used for long-distance touring

• Rear ends that sag or bounce due to added weight

• Drivers wanting a firmer, more responsive ride

• Beetle rear (except 1302/1303)
