These shocks are the as close to original specs as possible for the Mercury Cougar. This is the performance shock for those looking for firmer ride. The KYB Gas-a-Just shocks use higher gas pressure to keep your tires glued to the road. The KYB Gas-a-Just shocks' velocity-sensitive valving system adjusts quickly to changing road conditions for maximum comfort in any situation. Their mono tube configuration eliminates aeration and foaming, their micro-smooth, hard-chromed pistons extend their life, and their seamless cylinders and eye rings completely eliminate seam failures.
Not recommended for the Mustang as these are designed for the longer Cougar leaf springs and a different travel.
