Details on KYB Gas-a-just Shock Absorber Features
The KYB Gas-a-just line is designed to provide consistent damping performance by using pressurized nitrogen gas to reduce aeration and foaming inside the shock. The KG4529 model fits Porsche 924 and 944 vehicles, featuring a compressed length of 11.14 inches and an extended length of 16.54 inches, with a stroke length of 5.39 inches. The shock absorber mounts with E2 style mounts, sized 12x48 on the lower end and 12x42 on the upper end, ensuring a precise fit. A dust cover is included to protect the piston rod from debris and extend service life.
