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.
