The KYB Gas-a-Just monotube shock absorber has additional performance advantages over the traditional twin-tube design: It can instantly, automatically adjust to your performance needs and never experiences fade due to aeration. The high pressure monotube design responds instantly to conditions and driver inputs to deliver increased handling capabilities over twin-tube designs. Monotube shocks have separate chambers for the nitrogen gas and hydraulic fluid, this eliminates aeration and foaming and helps maintain consistent damping force in all conditions. Fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure, the KYB Gas-a-Just has an ultra-smooth triple chrome plated chrome piston rod to reduce seal wear. The KYB Gas-a-Just is available for cars, trucks, vans and SUVs

KYB Strut Kits sectionBooking in a strut replacement job should be straightforward but be prepared for other hidden surprises. By the time a car has reached 80,000km, strut fluid will have passed through its internal valves over 75 million times, causing gradual wear and deterioration. This means the struts are no longer providing the correct damping force required to keep car tyres safely in contact with the road – negatively affecting braking and steering performance. In addition, a strut operating in a weakened state will also put more stress on other suspension components, effectively reducing their operational lifespan. Replacing the strut, dust boot and bump stop at the same time will allow you to save on labour time and help to avoid further problems- with the kits coming complete with everything you need in the one box.
