KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:344438
Smooth out the ride and keep your truck planted with the KYB Gas-a-just shock absorber (P/N 553361), a high-pressure monotube gas shock that drops in as a rear replacement for the 1999-2004 Toyota Tacoma. This KYB shock absorber uses a monotube design that separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response, with components and valving designed specifically for this Toyota truck. See the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm the engine and configuration for your truck.
The Gas-a-just runs two separate working chambers: an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston for a comfortable ride during normal driving and added performance on demand.
Sold individually; replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced ride control.

Does this KYB shock absorber fit my 1999-2004 Toyota Tacoma?
It is a rear shock listed for the 1999-2004 Toyota Tacoma. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm the engine and configuration for your specific truck before ordering.
What position does part 553361 replace?
This is a rear shock absorber for the listed applications. It is sold individually, so order two if you are replacing both rear shocks.
How is this KYB gas shock absorber different from a twin-tube design?
The Gas-a-just is a high-pressure monotube that separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response, with an air-free hydraulic chamber and a nitrogen gas chamber with a floating piston.
Does it add more damping than the factory shocks?
KYB states the Gas-a-just adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks, with extra damping suited to trucks that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
Why does it use a triple chrome plated piston rod?
Fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure, so the ultra-smooth triple chrome plated piston rod is designed to reduce seal wear.
