Quick facts

A bouncy ride, nose-dive under braking or oily wetness on the shock can mean a shock is worn. Before replacing it, look at the visible shock body for leaks or damage with the engine off; bushings, mounts or springs can also play a part in a rough ride, and a shop can test them.

This shock absorber fits the 2006-2010 Hummer H3, which takes two, one on each side of the front axle. This listing is one shock; the other side of the front axle is normally done at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the KYB 555049 front shock absorber right for the 2006-2010 Hummer H3?

Yes. KYB 555049 fits the front of the 2006-2010 Hummer H3, with one shock on each side of the axle.

Is this KYB shock absorber a gas or oil unit?

This front shock is a high-pressure monotube gas shock. A second chamber of nitrogen gas with a floating piston keeps the gas separate from the oil.

How does this KYB absorber reduce seal wear?

KYB 555049 has an ultra-smooth triple chrome plated piston rod, which reduces seal wear. Fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.

How do I tell if a front shock is leaking?

Look for oily wetness on the shock body and rod with the vehicle parked and the engine off. A shop can check the rest, such as how well the shock damps.

Is the Gas-a-Just design meant for towing or heavy wheels?

Yes. Gas-a-Just monotubes are designed for vehicles that work, tow and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
