KYB Gas-a-Just Rear Shock for Saab 900
The KYB Gas-a-Just KG4741 is a rear monotube shock absorber for the 1994-1998 Saab 900. It is built to restore OE-style control while adding firmer damping response for vehicles that carry extra load, tow, or run larger wheels and tires.
Key Features
- Monotube design separates gas and oil for consistent damping and quick response
- Up to 25% more damping performance than original equipment shocks
- Higher gas pressure improves steering response and suspension control
- Triple chrome plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear and fluid leakage
- Engineered specifically for the Saab 900 rear suspension
- Dust cover included
Gas-a-Just Product Line
KYB Gas-a-Just shocks are monotube replacements designed for drivers who want more control than a standard OE-style twin-tube design. The separate gas and hydraulic chambers help maintain fade-free operation, while the higher-pressure construction delivers immediate damping when the suspension is working harder.
Detailed Description
Compatible with 1994-1998 Saab 900 rear suspension applications, KYB KG4741 is a direct-fit shock absorber for restoring ride control and handling balance. The part number KG4741 is built with the correct compressed length, extended length, stroke, and mounting configuration for the rear position, making it a practical choice for a Saab 900 rear shock replacement. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 5983) for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Excessive bouncing after bumps or dips
- Reduced rear-end stability during braking or cornering
- Soft or inconsistent damping from worn shocks
- Steering response that feels delayed or less precise
- Ride control loss on vehicles with heavier wheels, tires, or added load
Installation Notes and Tips
Fits 1994-1998 Saab 900, rear. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, part number SM5353, to reduce noise and vibration. Verify mounting type and suspension condition before installation.
Quality Assurance
KYB designs Gas-a-Just shocks as OE monotube replacement components for restoring original suspension capability. The KG4741 uses a high-pressure monotube layout and a chrome piston rod to support consistent operation and reduced seal wear.
