Firm up the back of your BMW 3 Series with the KYB Gas-a-just Suspension Shock Absorber KG4539, a high-pressure monotube gas shock that installs as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1984-1985 and 1991-1992 BMW 318I, 1991-1992 BMW 318IS, 1986-1988 BMW 325, 1984-1987 BMW 325E, and the 1988-1991 BMW 325I, 325IS, 325IX, and M3. Its components and valving are designed specifically for the BMW 3 Series; see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.

  • Two-chamber monotube design: 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.
  • Fade-free operation: the high-pressure monotube separates the gas and oil for fade-free damping and instant response.
  • Triple chrome-plated piston rod: an ultra-smooth rod helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
  • Extra damping: adds up to 25% more damping over original-equipment shocks and higher gas pressure to help improve steering response.

KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5013) to reduce the chance of noise and vibration. Helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed.
