What is the KYB KG4616?
It is a KYB Gas-a-just high-pressure monotube gas shock absorber, offered as an OE monotube replacement designed to help restore your vehicle's original ride and handling capabilities.
Which vehicles does it fit?
It fits the 1961-1966 SAAB 96, 1960-1965 SAAB GT750, 1963 SAAB GT850, 1964-1966 SAAB MONTE CARLO, 1968-1974 SAAB SONETT, and 1986-1995 SUZUKI SAMURAI. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your application.
What makes the monotube design different?
The high-pressure monotube separates the gas and oil into distinct chambers for fade-free operation and instant response, using an air-free hydraulic area plus a nitrogen gas area with a floating piston.
Does it add more damping than a stock shock?
KYB states the Gas-a-just adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks, with extra damping for vehicles that work, tow, or run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
What are signs this shock may need replacing?
Fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure. Excessive bouncing, reduced ride control, or a rough ride may indicate worn shocks; diagnose the cause before replacing.
