Smooth out the ride on your Mercedes-Benz and control body motion with the KYB Gas-a-just shock absorber KG4743, a rear high-pressure monotube unit that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1996-2002 Mercedes-Benz E320, 1998-2002 Mercedes-Benz E430 and 1996-1999 Mercedes-Benz E300; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list. This KYB gas shock absorber is offered as an OE monotube replacement designed to restore your vehicle's original ride and handling capabilities.

  • Two 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 during normal driving and instant performance on demand.
  • Up to 25% more damping over original-equipment shocks, with valving designed specifically for these Mercedes-Benz applications, plus added damping for vehicles that work, tow, or 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: since leaking fluid can cause shock failure, this ultra-smooth rod is built to reduce seal wear.

Higher gas pressure responds quickly to help improve steering response, and the Gas-a-just helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as the manufacturer intended.

What are signs my shocks may need replacing?

Common signs include excessive bouncing over bumps, a floaty or unstable ride, and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
