1968-1979 IRS Rear Oil Shock Absorber 113513031N - OEM Number(s) (113-513-031-N)

Smooths your ride and restores handling performance on IRS-equipped classic Volkswagens.

Rear suspension plays a critical role in how your VW feels on the road, and worn shocks can mean reduced comfort, poor stability, and unsafe driving. This oil-filled Rear Shock Absorber is built to factory specifications for independent rear suspension (IRS) models, ensuring proper damping and authentic ride quality. Sold individually, but always best replaced in pairs, it restores the smooth, controlled feel your Volkswagen had when it left the factory.

Because Details Matter

Driving a vintage Volkswagen should feel as good as it looks. Replacing worn shocks returns the precise, steady ride your Beetle, Ghia, Thing, or Type 3 was designed to deliver. Each bump and curve becomes predictable again, ensuring both safety and driving pleasure. It’s a small investment in keeping your VW authentic, roadworthy, and ready for every mile ahead.
