Key Features:

KYB Gas-A-Just Shocks incorporate advanced technology and robust construction to ensure superior performance and longevity. Key features include:

• High-Pressure Nitrogen Gas Design: The monotube design uses high-pressure nitrogen gas to eliminate aeration and foaming, ensuring consistent damping and quicker response times.
• Increased Damping Force: Automatically adjusts to changing road conditions, providing precise control and stability in demanding driving scenarios.
• Seamless Working Cylinder: Manufactured from a single piece of steel, the seamless cylinder reduces the risk of leaks and enhances overall durability.
• Triple-Chrome Plated Piston Rod: Offers superior strength and corrosion resistance, extending the life of the shock.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Built to withstand rigorous use, making it suitable for both performance and utility applications.

Construction & Design:

The KG54321 shocks feature a robust monotube design that separates the gas and oil chambers, preventing aeration and maintaining consistent damping performance. The seamless steel cylinder construction minimizes potential leak points, enhancing reliability and lifespan. The triple-chrome plating on the piston rod not only improves corrosion resistance but also reduces friction for smoother operation. This heavy-duty build ensures the shocks can endure the stresses of daily driving, towing, and off-road conditions without compromising performance.
