Are these Bilstein shock absorbers sold as a pair?

These are sold individually. If you need a pair for your 2WD Vanagon, please remember to order a quantity of 2.

What does 'Heavy-Duty' mean for this specific Bilstein shock?

Although labeled as 'Heavy-Duty,' this shock is actually quite soft. It is the ideal choice if you prefer a softer ride for your vehicle.

Will this shock work with my specific Vanagon model?

Yes, this shock is designed for 2WD Vanagons from 1980 through 1991, including models such as the Westfalia Camper, Carat, Multivan, and Passenger versions, regardless of whether you have a manual or automatic transmission.

There is simply no better shock in its class for a 2WD than a Bilstein. They are the original mono-tube, nitrogen gas-charged shock absorber used as original equipment on many of the world's top-brand automobiles. For years now, this has been the best shock you can buy for your 2WD Vanagon, period.

Sold each. Order a quantity of 2 if you want a pair.

Important note: This Bilstein shock is labeled "Heavy-Duty," which is a bit misleading because it is actually quite soft. If you are into a really soft ride, then these regular HD shocks are for you. But if you are like most of us that are not running a totally empty, hard-top Vanagon, and prefer some extra stability, then we highly recommend the GoWesty "Extra Heavy-Duty" XHD Shocks.
