Hope you didn't get the wrong idea on this job from members with syncros - you definitely do NOT need any special tools to replace the shock absorbers on a 2 wheel drive vanagon! It's a really simple job with just a couple of wrenches. I recently replaced mine on my 90 GL with KYB gas shocks from the Bus Depot - total cost about $110 and not more than 2 hours work. Go for it!
