Smooth out the ride and restore firm damping at the rear axle with the KYB Gas-a-just High Pressure Monotube Gas Shock (MPN KG4549), a KYB shock absorber built as an OE monotube replacement for the 1986-1998 SAAB 9000 — its components and valving are designed specifically for the Saab 9000. This KYB gas shock absorber uses two separate working chambers: an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, plus a second high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston for a comfortable ride during normal driving with performance on demand.

  • Up to 25% more damping: adds damping performance over original equipment shocks, with extra capacity for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
  • High-pressure monotube design: separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
  • Triple chrome-plated piston rod: an ultra-smooth rod helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
  • Quick response: the higher gas pressure responds quickly to help improve steering response and helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed.

Sold individually; replacing both rear shocks together is recommended for balanced handling.
