Firm up rear-end control and tame body motion with the KYB Gas-a-just High Pressure Monotube Gas Shock 554406, a rear-position shock absorber that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2013-2018 Acura RDX (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications). It's KYB's OE monotube replacement, built to help restore the designed control and handling of the RDX.
- Two 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.
- High-pressure monotube design: Separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
- Triple chrome plated piston rod: An ultra-smooth rod that reduces seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
- Built for working vehicles: Gas-a-just monotubes are designed for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels, and help keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.
Shocks wear as a pair, so replacing both rear units together is recommended for balanced ride control. Sold individually; order two for a complete rear axle set.
