KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:SA1016
Dial in firm, fade-free ride control on your classic with the KYB Gas-a-just KYB shock absorber KG4505, a high-pressure monotube gas shock that installs in the FRONT position across a long list of vintage American Motors, Ford and Mercury models — including the 1970-1974 AMC Ambassador, 1966-1970 Ford Fairlane, 1960-1970 Ford Falcon, 1960-1971 Ford Ranchero and 1960-1969 Mercury Comet. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application list.
The Gas-a-just runs 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.
Sold individually; for balanced front-end ride control, replacing both front shocks together as a matched pair is recommended.
