Front Shock Absorber for 1997-2000 Mercedes-Benz C230 & More - KYB KG4729

Keep your Mercedes-Benz composed and controlled with the KYB shock absorber KG4729, a Gas-a-just high-pressure monotube gas shock. It installs in the front position as an OE monotube replacement on many vehicles, among them the 1997-2000 Mercedes-Benz C230, 1994-2000 Mercedes-Benz C280 and 1997 Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list. Its components and valving are designed specifically for these Mercedes-Benz applications to help restore the vehicle's original damping capabilities.

• Twin 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.
• Up to 25% more damping than original-equipment shocks, with added damping for vehicles that work, tow, or run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
• Fade-free operation: the high-pressure monotube design separates the gas and oil for consistent response.
• Triple chrome-plated piston rod runs ultra-smooth to reduce seal wear, since leaking fluid can be a cause of shock failure.
• Higher gas pressure is designed to improve steering response and helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as intended.

Signs a front shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing, nose-dive under braking, and uneven tire wear.
