Product Details

KYB Gas-a-just shocks are engineered with two separate working chambers. The hydraulic side handles steering and body control, while the nitrogen gas chamber adds pressure support for normal driving and immediate damping response when suspension demand increases. That design helps maintain consistent rear suspension behavior on the Ford Escape, especially when the vehicle is carrying passengers, cargo, or encountering repeated bumps.
