How does the monotube gas design work?
The high-pressure monotube separates gas and oil into two chambers — an air-free hydraulic piston/valve area and a nitrogen gas area with a floating piston — for fade-free operation and instant response.
What are signs my rear shocks may need replacing?
Excessive bounce over bumps, nose dive when braking, body sway or a floaty ride, uneven tire wear, or fluid leaking from the shock body are signs a shock may need replacement.
Is the KYB shock absorber price for one shock or a pair?
This listing is for a single shock absorber. Shocks are typically replaced as an axle set, so ordering both rear units together is recommended for balanced ride and handling.
