    Keep every mile composed with the KYB Gas-a-just shock absorber (MPN KG3198), a high-pressure monotube gas shock that mounts in the rear position of the 1967-1968 and 1971-1973 Triumph GT6, the 1960-1970 Triumph Herald, and the 1963-1979 Triumph Spitfire. This KYB shock absorber is offered as an OE monotube replacement to help restore your vehicle's original ride and handling capabilities.

    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 with added performance on demand.

    • Monotube design: separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
    • Extra damping: adds damping over the OE design for vehicles that work, tow, or run larger, heavier tires and wheels — up to 25% more damping performance than original equipment shocks.
    • Triple chrome-plated piston rod: an ultra-smooth rod reduces seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
    • Quick response: higher gas pressure responds quickly to improve steering response and helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed; components and valving designed specifically for your Triumph.

    Worn shocks can show up as excessive bouncing, poor ride control, or fluid seepage — if a tired rear shock is the cause, this KYB gas shock absorber replaces it.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Will this KYB shock absorber fit my Triumph?

    It's a rear-position replacement for the 1967-1968 and 1971-1973 Triumph GT6, the 1960-1970 Triumph Herald, and the 1963-1979 Triumph Spitfire. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm your vehicle.

    What makes this a high-pressure gas shock absorber?

    The KYB gas shock absorber uses a monotube design with high-pressure nitrogen and a floating piston that separates the gas from the oil for fade-free operation and quick response.

    Which position does the KG3198 mount in?

    It is a rear shock absorber for the listed Triumph applications.

    What are signs my shocks may need replacing?

    Excessive bouncing, poor ride control, or fluid leaking can be signs a shock may need replacing. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since other suspension parts can produce similar symptoms.

    Does the KYB shock absorber price cover both sides?

    This listing is for one shock. Shocks are best replaced as an axle pair for balanced ride control, so order two to service the rear axle.
