What is the OEA classification?

OEA stands for Original Equipment for the Aftermarket. It means this shock absorber is made on the same KYB OE assembly lines, uses the same OE quality components, and is calibrated to restore your vehicle's original designed performance.

What is the benefit of a twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged design?

This design helps to prevent fluid aeration and foaming, which can lead to a loss of damping performance. It works to maintain consistent damping force for improved ride control and stability.

Do I need to purchase anything else to install this shock absorber?

While this shock absorber is designed as a direct replacement, KYB recommends a strut boot (part number SB114) to protect the shock from dirt, debris, and salt. It's also a good idea to check your vehicle's service manual for any other recommended replacement parts or procedures.
