The Volkswagen Beetle was a great little car when it was first developed, and the classic Bug was the best selling car of all time. The modern form of the Beetle has undergone a great many changes since the old Bug was retired, and basically, the only thing that remains the same is the overall shape. The classic Beetle was economical and fairly reliable, but in its stock form and with barely 40 horsepower, it was hardly a performance vehicle.

The modern Beetle was designed with many improvements, and among the most notable is the sporty suspension it has, especially when compared with the old Beetle. While the Volkswagen Beetle shocks are an advanced wishbone design that should be very reliable, because of the tremendous stresses they are subjected to, the shocks may eventually wear out.

You might notice failing shocks because of visible leakage of fluid, but more likely you will notice a degradation in ride quality and handling. Failing Volkswagen Beetle shocks will transmit a lot more road noise into the cabin. The car may dive excessively during braking, and your tires may even brake loose while cornering, due to the suspension being unable to compress. If your shocks are failing, we offer OEM replacement shocks for your Volkswagen Beetle. We also offer performance shocks that will considerably stiffen the handling of the Bug, which can turn it into a serious country road cruiser. We offer different levels of suspension performance, all of which have a different compromise between comfort and suspension. We might not have performance shocks for all years of all vehicles, so browse through our catalogue and see what we offer. If you can’t find the shocks you are looking for, just ask, we can probably get them for you.You can order your replacement or performance Volkswagen Beetle shocks anytime and have them shipped right to your door.
