Does this KYB Gas-a-just fit my Mercedes-Benz?
It installs in the front position on the 1994-1996 C220, 1997-2000 C230, and 1994-2000 C280. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the exact engine and configuration for your vehicle.
What makes this a KYB gas shock absorber?
It's a high-pressure monotube design with a separate nitrogen gas chamber and floating piston that keeps the gas apart from the oil for fade-free operation and quick response.
Do I need to replace both front shocks?
They're sold individually, so this listing is for one shock. Replacing both front shocks as a matched pair is recommended for balanced, even control.
How does the triple chrome-plated piston rod help?
The ultra-smooth rod is designed to reduce seal wear. Since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure, a smoother rod helps protect the seal.
Does this shock add damping over the original equipment part?
KYB states the Gas-a-just adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks, and its higher gas pressure is designed to help improve steering response.
