Firm up ride control and restore factory damping on the front of your Mercedes-Benz with the KYB Gas-a-just High-Pressure Monotube Gas Shock KG4729. It installs as a direct-fit front replacement for the 1994-1996 Mercedes-Benz C220, 1997-2000 Mercedes-Benz C230, 1994-2000 Mercedes-Benz C280, and 1997 Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level detail.

  • Monotube gas 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 and instant performance on demand.
  • Extra damping: Adds up to 25% more damping performance over original-equipment shocks, with valving designed specifically for your Mercedes-Benz.
  • Fade-free operation: The high-pressure monotube separates the gas and oil for fade-free performance and instant response.
  • Reduced seal wear: An ultra-smooth triple-chrome-plated piston rod is designed to reduce seal wear, and the higher gas pressure helps improve steering response.

KYB notes the Gas-a-just also helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed, since those systems depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires working as the manufacturer intended. Sold individually; replace the front shocks as a matched pair for balanced ride control.
