What is the main benefit of the two-chamber design in this KYB shock absorber?

The two-chamber design allows for a comfortable ride during normal driving conditions thanks to the high-pressure nitrogen gas. It also provides instant performance and better control when you need it, such as during sudden braking or cornering.

How does this shock absorber help with electronic safety systems?

Electronic safety systems, like ABS and stability control, rely on the suspension, tires, and brakes working as the manufacturer intended. By restoring your vehicle's original ride and handling, this shock absorber helps ensure these systems function correctly.

Does this shock absorber come with any mounting hardware?

This product is a direct OE replacement shock absorber. Mounting hardware is typically not included and should be reused from the original installation or purchased separately if needed.

Product Details

KYB is well-known for making dependable suspension components that help bring your vehicle's handling back to factory specifications. This Excel-G rear shock absorber is designed to do just that for your 2006-2009 Mercedes-Benz CLK350, and other CLK models from 2003-2009. It's built as a direct OE monotube replacement, meaning it aims to restore your car's original capabilities for a comfortable and controlled ride.

Inside, this shock absorber uses a monotube design with two separate chambers. One chamber holds the hydraulic piston and valve system for responsive control, while the other has high-pressure nitrogen gas separated by a floating piston. This setup offers a comfortable ride during everyday driving but can instantly add performance when you need it, like during sudden maneuvers or hard braking. Keeping your suspension working as the manufacturer intended is also important for the proper function of your car's electronic safety systems, which rely on predictable tire contact with the road.
