Firm up rear-end body control with the KYB shock absorber 553393, a Gas-a-just high-pressure monotube gas shock that installs as a rear-position, direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2017 Smart fortwo. This KYB gas shock absorber is a monotube-designed OE replacement built to help restore the vehicle's designed control and handling.

  • Monotube gas design: the Gas-a-just separates the high-pressure nitrogen gas from the oil for fade-free operation and instant response, with an air-free hydraulic piston-and-valve area for responsiveness and a floating piston in the gas chamber for a comfortable ride during normal driving.
  • Higher gas pressure: responds quickly to help improve steering response, and is designed for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
  • Triple chrome-plated piston rod: an ultra-smooth rod helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
  • Electronic safety systems: designed to help keep electronic safety systems performing as intended, since they depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires working together.

If a worn rear shock is the cause of poor ride control on your fortwo, this KYB Gas-a-just replaces it.
