KYB Suspension Strut P/N:KG9003
$106.99

Keep your Porsche's rear suspension composed with the KYB Gas-a-just Suspension Strut KG9003, a high-pressure monotube gas strut that installs as a rear-position replacement on the 1970-1976 Porsche 914. Its components and valving are designed specifically for the Porsche 914, making it a straightforward fit for the listed application.

  • Monotube gas design: High pressure separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response, with no aeration fade of the traditional twin-tube design.
  • 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 added performance on demand.
  • Up to 25% more damping: Adds damping performance over original equipment shocks, suited to vehicles that work, tow, or run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
  • Triple chrome-plated piston rod: An ultra-smooth rod reduces seal wear; the higher gas pressure responds quickly to improve steering response.

Because electronic safety systems depend on the suspension working as the vehicle manufacturer intended, the Gas-a-just helps keep those systems performing as designed. Protect your new strut from dirt, debris, and salt with a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB108.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicle does the KG9003 strut fit?

It fits the 1970-1976 Porsche 914 in the rear position. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the application for your vehicle.

What type of strut is this?

It's a KYB Gas-a-just high-pressure monotube gas strut, using a separate gas and oil design for fade-free operation and instant response.

How does the monotube design differ from a twin-tube?

It has two separate working chambers—an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area, and a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston—so it won't experience fade due to aeration.

Does it offer more damping than the original equipment?

KYB states the Gas-a-just adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks, with valving designed specifically for the Porsche 914.

Should I replace both sides at once?

This listing is for one strut, sold individually. Replacing the struts on both sides of the axle together is recommended for balanced, even suspension performance.
