Rear GAS shocks and Gas Charged Strut Inserts
Part #: SSH0013

High Pressure Gas Shocks are non-forgiving. If you don't see it listed, it's because we don't recommend it for that application! (there is a reason for this).

Strut Inserts
Part #: SSH0014

Price: $ see product details for pricing
Stock strut inserts (shocks). These fit inside the strut housing, and are your shock absorber in the front. Bounce on the front bumper, it should not "bounce" but simply return to ride height. These strut inserts are oil filled (NOT GAS SHOCKS).

Shocks for Lowered Beetles

Use these if you have beam adjusters installed. Much shorter than stock, so they won't bottom out. Price is for a PAIR!

Rear Suspension Snubbers, Rubber & Urethane
Part #: SSH0019

Price: $ see product details for pricing
This is the suspension stop that prevents your wheel from travelling too high in the wheelwell, which would cause a BANG! Choose application. Price is for 2 stops to do one car!

Mounting Kit for 66 & Newer STOCK STYLE Front Shocks

Original Style Stock shocks are sold without the mounting kit; THIS is the mounting kit. This kit mounts ONE shock.

Gas Charged Hood Strut Kit
Part #: SSH0022

Price: $ 30.00
FINALLY, a cure for those beastly stock hood springs (SCREEETCH!!!), these are QUIET! Besides looking great, they are smooth as silk! Fit all beetles, and 71-72' Superbeetle. Do NOT fit 73 and newer Supers! Kit includes 2 struts.

IRS Diagonal Arm Bolt and Washer Kit
Part #: SSH0023

Price: $ 18.95
WOWZERS! We finally found a source for this impossible to find item, and it's improved to boot! These often fall out, or are severely rusted because of their exposure to road stuff (salt, water, etc). Price is for 1 bolt and 2 washers, which does one SIDE of the car (one wheel).

Upper Strut Mount With Bearing, 71-73 Superbeetle
Part #: SSH0025

Price: $ 59.95
This is the 3 bolt piece that contains the spring on the top. It has a bearing in it to allow the strut and wheel to swivel as you steer the car. If this bearing goes bad, the top of the strut assembly can wiggle and contribute to the Superbeetle-Shimmy. Price is for 1 mount to do one SIDE.
