Gas-charged replacement strut insert designed specifically for EMPI's adjustable lowered strut housings (EMPI #00-9627-0) on late Super Beetles. Standard-length factory inserts will not fit these lowered housings — this shortened insert is required for proper fitment. Gas charging prevents fluid foaming during spirited driving or rough roads, maintaining consistent damping. Sold individually — two required per vehicle.

  • Gas-charged damping for consistent performance
  • Corrosion-resistant finish
  • Designed for EMPI lowered strut housings #00-9627-0 only
  • Sold individually — order 2 per vehicle
  • Weight: 4.38 lb each
  • Dimensions: 18 x 3 x 3 in

Installation tips: Add a small amount of light machine oil or hydraulic fluid to the bottom of the housing before inserting for heat transfer. Torque the gland nut firmly and re-check after 500 miles. Professional 4-wheel alignment recommended after installation.

Fitment: For use with EMPI lowered strut housings #00-9627-0 only. Fits late 1973 (from chassis #1333003656 / #1533003656), 1974–1977 Super Beetle sedan, and 1974–1979 Super Beetle Convertible.
