KYB 734033 Suspension Strut - Front

KYB AGX Front Suspension Strut for Volkswagen

The KYB AGX 734033 is a manually adjustable front suspension strut built for Volkswagen drivers who want more control than a standard OE replacement can provide. It lets you tune damping without special tools, making it a practical choice for street driving, spirited use, or track-focused setup changes.

Key Features

• Manually adjustable performance strut for enthusiast-level ride control
• Adjustment can add up to 125% more damping force on select Volkswagen applications
• Externally adjustable without lifting the vehicle or removing the tires
• Precision multi-stage hydraulic valves provide a broad performance range
• Seamless working cylinder with a Teflon-coated piston band for a positive seal and longer service life
• Engineered to work with vehicles equipped with electronic safety systems such as ESC and ABS
• Front application for Volkswagen Beetle, Golf, Jetta, and R32 models listed below

About the KYB AGX Line

KYB AGX is the brand’s adjustable performance line for drivers who want to fine-tune suspension response. Depending on the application, the strut uses either an eight-position knob or a four-position screwdriver slot, but both provide the same adjustment range. One change affects both rebound and compression damping, allowing the front suspension to be set for comfort, control, or a firmer performance feel. KYB AGX 734033 is designed for Volkswagen owners who want a direct way to change ride behavior without replacing the entire suspension system.

Installation Notes and Tips

For reduced noise and vibration, KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5578. To help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt, KYB also recommends a strut boot, part number SB123. The upper mount type is 14x1.50, and the unit measures 14.17 inches compressed length, 20.62 inches extended length, with 6.45 inches of stroke. Part number 734033 is a front suspension strut for the listed Volkswagen applications.

Quality Assurance

KYB designs AGX dampers with velocity-sensitive valving to react quickly to changing driving conditions and help maintain tire contact and vehicle control. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
