1976 Mercedes-Benz 280C Front Shock and Struts

The KYB Gas-a-just monotube shock absorber has additional performance advantages over the traditional twin-tube design: It can instantly, automatically adjust to your performance needs and never experiences fade due to aeration. The Gas-a-Just is available as an OE monotube replacement and as an OE twin-tube performance upgrade. The KYB Gas-a-Just has two separate working chambers: An air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, and a second high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston that provides a comfortable ride during normal driving and adds instant performance on demand. The Gas-a-Justs high-pressure, monotube design delivers the control spirited drivers are looking for and its ideal for European cars.

Product Features:

• Adds Up To 25% More Damping Performance Over Original Equipment Shocks
• Components And Valving Designed Specifically For Your Mercedes Benz
• Gas-A-Just Monotubes Include Additional Damping Over One Design For Vehicles That Work, Tow, And Have Larger, Heavier Tires & Wheels
• High Pressure Monotube Design Separates The Gas And Oil For Fade Free Operation And Instant Response
• Fluid Leaking Can Be A Cause Of Shock Failure, The KYB Gas-A-Just Has An Ultra-Smooth Triple Chrome Plated Chrome Piston Rod To Reduce Seal Wear
• The Higher Gas Pressure Of The KYB Gas-A-Just Responds Quickly To Improve Steering Response
• Electronic Safety Systems Depend On The Suspension, Brakes And Tires Operating As The Vehicle Manufacturer Intended. The KYB Gas-A-Just Helps Keep Electronic Safety Systems Performing As Designed.

Providing an exceptional level of handling precision and control, Monroe® OESpectrum® Monotube shocks are designed for vehicles originally equipped with monotube shock absorbers. OESpectrum Monotube shocks filter out noise, vibration and harshness.

Product Features:

• EXCEPTIONAL HANDLING — Full displaced valving, tuned to each vehicle, adjusts to road extremes to provide a smooth ride while free floating dividing piston separates fluid from high-pressure gas charging for reduced shock fade and aeration
• IMPROVES PERFORMANCE — High pressure nitrogen gas charge maintains tire-to-road contact for improved ride and handling by reducing aeration and tight damping response provides vehicle control
• CONSISTENT RIDE — High-temperature OE all-weather fluid contains special additives to assist with extreme temperatures and help reduce oil breakdown
• MAINTAINS STABILITY — Monotube technology maintains vehicle control over bumps, dips and potholes for vehicles originally equipped with monotube shocks and struts
• CONTROL AND DURABILITY — Fluon-banded piston provides consistent sealing between piston and high-strength pressure tube for better control, increased durability and longer service life
• Nitrogen Gas Charged: For improved ride and handling, helps maintain tire to road contact by reducing aeration – on most applications
• 1/2 inch Diameter Piston Rod: Nitrocarburized rod for long service life. On non-dust shield units only.
• Special Seal: ‘Self-lubricating’ fluid seal designed to retain gas without excessive wear or friction.
