1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC Shocks and Struts

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 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 — PTFE-banded piston provides consistent sealing between piston and high-strength pressure tube for better control, increased durability and longer service life
• BUILT TO LAST — Self-lubricating fluid seal retains gas and reduces excessive friction against the piston rod to help reduce premature wear
• BUY WITH CONFIDENCE — Comes with Monroe’s Limited Warranty and exclusive Feel the Difference Guarantee
• Special Seal: ‘Self-lubricating’ fluid seal designed to retain gas without excessive wear or friction.

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.
