KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:KG4501
$61.99

Firm up your classic GM ride with the KYB shock absorber Gas-a-just KG4501, a high-pressure monotube gas unit that drops in as a front OE monotube replacement to help restore your vehicle's original ride and handling capabilities. It fits the 1967-1978 Cadillac Eldorado and the 1966-1978 Oldsmobile Toronado (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details).

  • Monotube design: Two separate working chambers — an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston for a comfortable ride during normal driving and added performance on demand.
  • Extra damping: Adds up to 25% more damping performance over original-equipment shocks, with components and valving designed specifically for classic GM cars and vehicles that work, tow, or run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
  • Fade-free operation: The high-pressure monotube separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response, while higher gas pressure responds quickly to help improve steering response.
  • Durable rod: An ultra-smooth triple-chrome-plated piston rod reduces seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.

This KYB gas shock absorber also helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed. Sold individually; replace both sides on the same axle as a matched pair for balanced handling.
