About the KYB Gas-a-just Product Line

The Gas-a-just line from KYB focuses on gas-charged shock absorbers that provide consistent damping performance and improved vehicle stability. This product line is designed to meet or exceed original equipment specifications, offering reliable suspension response and durability. The KG4729 shock absorber benefits from this technology, ensuring it delivers controlled ride quality for Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG, C220, C230, and C280 models.

Technical Details and Features

The KG4729 shock absorber features a compressed length of 16.93 inches and an extended length of 20.39 inches, providing a stroke length of 3.46 inches. It uses an E2(10x40) lower mount and an S1 upper mount, ensuring proper fitment and secure installation. The inclusion of dust covers helps protect internal components from debris and extends service life. Additionally, the B-stop and R-stop features help limit suspension travel, preventing damage from over-compression or over-extension. This shock absorber does not include an internal rebound spring, which is typical for this design to maintain consistent damping characteristics.

  • Eliminates harsh or bouncy ride caused by worn shocks
  • Prevents suspension bottoming out with built-in travel stops
  • Protects suspension components with included dust cover

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the KYB Gas-a-just KG4729 shock absorber, ensure the correct orientation of the E2 lower mount and S1 upper mount for proper fitment. It is recommended to replace shocks in pairs to maintain balanced suspension performance. Inspect mounting hardware and suspension components for wear or damage during installation. The included dust cover should be positioned correctly to protect the shock shaft from contaminants.
