KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:554386

$90.99

Description

Firm up a worn, bouncy rear ride with the KYB Gas-a-just 554386, a high-pressure monotube gas shock. This KYB shock absorber drops in as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 2008-2012 Ford Escape, 2008-2011 Mazda Tribute, and 2008-2011 Mercury Mariner.

Unlike a traditional twin-tube, the Gas-a-just uses 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 that supports a comfortable ride during normal driving and adds performance on demand.

Monotube gas design: separates gas and oil for fade-free operation that won't aerate, plus instant response.
Triple chrome plated piston rod: an ultra-smooth rod helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
Built to work and tow: engineered for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
Quick steering response: higher gas pressure of this KYB gas shock absorber responds quickly to help improve steering response.

The correct monotube-designed OE replacement, it helps keep electronic safety systems performing as the manufacturer intended. Sold individually; order two to replace both rear corners as a matched pair.

Buyer's Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my vehicle?

It's a direct-fit rear replacement for the 2008-2012 Ford Escape, 2008-2011 Mazda Tribute, and 2008-2011 Mercury Mariner. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level details.

Is this a front or rear shock?

It's a rear shock absorber. It's sold individually, so order two to replace both rear corners as a matched pair for balanced ride control.

What is a monotube gas shock?

A monotube design keeps a high-pressure nitrogen gas chamber and the oil separated by a floating piston, which resists fade from aeration and responds instantly.

What are signs my rear shocks may need replacing?

Excessive bouncing, nose dive, poor ride control, uneven tire wear, or fluid leaking from the shock body are common signs a shock may need replacing.

Is this Gas-a-just designed for towing?

Yes — KYB Gas-a-just monotubes are designed for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels, adding control on demand.
