KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:553177

$85.99

Description

Firm up the ride at the rear axle of your Mercedes-Benz with the KYB shock absorber 553177, a high-pressure monotube gas unit built as an OE monotube replacement to help restore your vehicle's original ride and handling. It's a rear-position Gas-a-just shock that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1984-1989 Mercedes-Benz 190D and the 1984-1993 Mercedes-Benz 190E.

Monotube gas design: Separates the gas and oil so this KYB gas shock absorber delivers fade-free operation and instant response, with an air-free hydraulic piston/valve chamber for control and a high-pressure nitrogen chamber with a floating piston for a comfortable ride during normal driving.
Triple chrome-plated piston rod: An ultra-smooth rod reduces seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
Higher gas pressure: Responds quickly to help improve steering response.
Up to 25% more damping over original-equipment shocks, with components and valving designed specifically for your Mercedes-Benz — added damping suited to vehicles that work, tow, and carry larger, heavier tires and wheels.

Helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed by working with the suspension, brakes and tires. Replace worn rear shocks as a pair for balanced damping.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicles does the KYB 553177 shock absorber fit?

It's a rear-position shock for the 1984-1989 Mercedes-Benz 190D and 1984-1993 Mercedes-Benz 190E. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the fit for your exact vehicle.

Is this a monotube or twin-tube shock?

It's a high-pressure monotube gas design (KYB Gas-a-just) that separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.

What position does the 553177 install in?

It is a rear-axle shock absorber for the listed Mercedes-Benz applications.

Why does this KYB gas shock absorber use a chrome-plated rod?

Fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure, so the ultra-smooth triple chrome-plated piston rod is designed to reduce seal wear.

Should I replace both rear shocks at once?

Replacing worn shocks as a matched pair is recommended for balanced, even damping. Each is sold individually, so order two for a complete rear-axle replacement.
