Smooth out the ride and restore firm rear control with the KYB Gas-a-just Shock Absorber KG4740, a high-pressure monotube gas shock that fits the rear of the 1994-1996 Mercedes-Benz C220, 1997-2000 Mercedes-Benz C230, 1994-2000 Mercedes-Benz C280, 1998-2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK320 and 1999-2003 Mercedes-Benz CLK430. Offered as an OE monotube replacement, this KYB shock absorber is built to bring damping back toward the vehicle's original capability. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the engine for your vehicle.

  • Monotube gas design: the high-pressure layout separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
  • 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.
  • Extra damping: adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks, with valving suited to vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
  • Triple chrome-plated piston rod: an ultra-smooth rod helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.

The higher gas pressure helps improve steering response and helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.
