Key Features

• Manually adjustable performance strut for enthusiast-focused suspension tuning
• Adjustment can add up to 125% more damping force on supported GM F-body applications
• External adjustment does not require lifting the vehicle or removing the tires
• Precision multi-stage hydraulic valves provide a broad damping range
• Seamless working cylinder and Teflon-coated piston band help maintain a positive seal and longer service life
• Engineered to work with vehicles equipped with electronic safety systems such as ESC and ABS
• Upper mount type: 14x1.50

Product Details

KYB AGX is the brand’s adjustable performance line, created for drivers who want to change damping response to match road conditions, tire setup, or driving style. The 735001 uses either an eight-position knob or a four-position screwdriver slot depending on application, but both adjustment styles provide the same overall control range. One adjustment changes rebound and compression together, giving the front suspension a more direct response for a Chevrolet Camaro or Pontiac Firebird build that sees both street miles and performance driving. KYB 735001 is a practical choice when OE replacement struts do not provide enough control for modified or higher-demand use.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive body motion during acceleration, braking, or cornering
• Front-end float or reduced damping control on performance setups
• Need to fine-tune ride response for street versus track use
• Loss of tire contact caused by underdamped suspension behavior
• Replacement needs for worn front struts on 1982-1992 Camaro and Firebird models

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 1982-1992 Chevrolet Camaro, front.
• Fits 1982-1992 Pontiac Firebird, front.
• KYB recommends new strut mounts, part numbers SM5027 and SM5028, to reduce the chance of noise and vibration.
• Verify the upper mount type and suspension configuration before installation.
• Adjustment can be made externally after installation, depending on vehicle access and application.
