KYB Suspension Strut P/N:KG9004
KYB KG9003 rear suspension strut assembly for the 1970-1976 Porsche 914 is a high-pressure monotube gas strut that damps rear suspension movement. This KYB strut assembly adds up to 25% more damping performance than original equipment shocks.
Oil on the strut body, a bouncy ride or uneven tire wear can mean a rear strut is worn. With the car parked and the engine off, look for an oily film on the body, since leaking fluid is a cause of shock failure. Worn mounts or tires can give similar signs, so find the cause first. Rear struts are normally replaced as a pair, and this listing is one.
It fits the 1970-1976 Porsche 914, with components and valving designed specifically for that car. It is an OE monotube replacement intended to restore the vehicle's original capabilities.
Fit and size
Build and materials
One rear suspension strut assembly. The 1970-1976 Porsche 914 takes two rear struts, so a pair needs two of this listing.
Is the KYB suspension strut assembly KG9003 right for the 1970-1976 Porsche 914?
Yes. KYB KG9003 is a rear suspension strut assembly for the 1970-1976 Porsche 914, and the car takes two of them.
Is this KYB suspension strut a monotube design?
Yes. KYB KG9003 is a high-pressure monotube. Its hydraulic piston and valve area sits apart from a nitrogen gas area, so gas and oil stay separate.
What is the piston rod on this Gas-a-just rear strut plated with?
The piston rod is ultra-smooth triple chrome plated to reduce seal wear. Leaking fluid is a cause of shock failure, so the seal matters.
Does the Gas-a-just design lose damping from aeration?
No. The hydraulic piston and valve area is air-free and separate from the gas area, so this strut never experiences fade due to aeration.
Does the KYB KG9003 add extra damping for towing or heavier wheels?
Yes. KYB Gas-a-just monotubes include additional damping over the OE design for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
