Kayaba is one of the world's largest suppliers of shock absorbers. Many vehicles are factory fitted with their products.

Kayaba shocks absorbers are manufactured in the same factories as the original parts using the same technology. Years of hydraulic expertise has made Kayaba a leading supplier not only for shock absorbers but also for integrated control systems and in the design, manufacture and development of suspension modules.

At Euro4x4parts, we are pleased to offer you the Excel-G and Gas-A-Just models.

Excel-G shock absorbers

It's a twin-tube gas shock absorber which provides progressive double-action damping. It features a Teflon coated piston band for a positive seal and longer life, solid seamless mounting eyes and a hard chrome coated piston rod.

The anti-aeration system combined with pressurized nitrogen not only ensures driving comfort but also reduces foaming. This can frequently occur on the shock absorber causing a gradual decrease in performance, even after only a few minutes of use.

Gas-A-Just shock absorbers

This is a high-pressure monotube gas shock absorber. The floating piston separates oil and compresses nitrogen gas to add velocity-sensitive performance

Its floating piston ensures the physical separation of oil and gas to prevent aeration and thus increase performance. The single, seamless working cylinder is in heavy-duty gauge. It provides improved performance (up to 30% more damping) for vehicles originally fitted with twin-tube shocks, or gets you back to the original performance for vehicles factory fitted with single-tube shocks. This single-tube range is more responsive as the single-tube automatically adjusts to driving conditions, providing firmer handling and additional control using high-pressure gas.
