Why a monotube design?
The high-pressure monotube separates the gas and oil, which supports fade-free operation and quick, instant response compared with the original design.
How does it help steering response?
The higher gas pressure of the Gas-a-just responds quickly, which helps improve steering response during normal driving.
Should I replace shocks in pairs and what about price?
Replacing both sides on an axle together is recommended for balanced, even control. This listing is for one shock; check the current KYB shock absorber price and order the quantity your vehicle needs.
