    KYB KG4513 Details

    The KYB Gas-a-Just monotube shock has two possible purposes.  First, it's a direct OE replacement if your vehicle came with a monotube.  Second, the Gas-a-Just is also performance upgrade for vehicles that came factory direct with a twin tube.  It can also increase steering responsiveness by as much as 30%.  The monotube design never experiences shock fade and the high gas pressure can automatically add performance for more aggressive driving conditions or for heavier loads.

    • The correct replacement for monotube equipped vehicles
    • A performance upgrade for twin-tube equipped vehicles
    • The monotube design is more responsive and automatically adjusts to driving conditions
    • Provides a firmer ride and additional control
    • Extended Length: 13.03"
    • Compressed Length: 8.58"
    • Stroke: 4.45"
    • Position: Front

    Like-new Ride on my '68 El Camino

    Noticing that my 1968 El Camino still had its original (rear) air shocks with its dry-rotted rubber, I chose to swap them out for some quality gas shocks. I also noted that the front kept scraping its crossmember whenever I slowly rode off my driveway skirt or over speed bumps. I wasn't sure if it was old springs or worn shocks. After choosing to only upgrade the shocks with KYB, the bottoming out ceased, and the ride was so much improved.
