The KYB Gas-a-just KG9004 is a rear suspension strut built for 1977-1983 BMW 320i applications. It uses a monotube design with separate gas and oil chambers to deliver responsive damping, consistent control, and quick reaction to road inputs.

Product Details
The KYB Gas-a-just KG9004 is engineered as a monotube OE replacement for the rear of the BMW 320i. Its high-pressure gas design separates the gas and oil to reduce aeration and maintain consistent damping, while the floating piston helps deliver a comfortable ride during normal driving and firmer control when conditions demand it. The KG9004 is a practical choice for drivers who want sharper steering response and more stable suspension behavior from a rear strut replacement.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71319 for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Rear suspension bounce or excessive body movement
- Reduced damping control from worn original struts
- Steering response that feels slow or unsettled
- Fade caused by aeration in older twin-tube designs
- Seal wear related to piston rod surface condition
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify rear fitment on your 1977-1983 BMW 320i before installation. The KG9004 uses lower mount type E2(10X45) and upper mount type S1, with compressed length, extended length, and stroke dimensions listed for application matching. KYB also recommends protecting new struts from dirt, debris, and salt with strut boot SB113.
Quality Assurance
KYB designs the Gas-a-just line as an OE monotube replacement to restore original vehicle capability with consistent damping performance. The KG9004 is built with a high-pressure monotube layout and a chrome piston rod to support long-term suspension control in the BMW 320i rear application.
