Product Description

The KYB KG4517 Gas-A-Just Front Shock is a high-pressure monotube shock absorber engineered to restore and enhance ride control on classic American vehicles originally equipped with monotube front shocks. This gas-charged shock delivers more consistent damping performance and improved steering response compared with twin-tube designs, helping reduce body roll and nose dive during cornering and braking.

Designed for a range of classic 1960s and 1970s vehicles - including the Ford Mustang (1964-1970), Ford Maverick (1970-1977), Mercury Cougar (1967-1970), Mercury Comet (1971-1977), and Bricklin SV-1 (1974-1976) - this KYB Gas-A-Just shock is a direct replacement that installs without modifications. Sold individually, it's recommended to replace both front shocks as a pair for balanced performance. Always confirm fitment for your specific model and year before installation.
