KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:KG4161

Keep your rear suspension planted and controlled with the KYB Gas-a-just Shock Absorber KG4161, a high-pressure monotube gas shock that installs as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 2003-2004 Toyota Tacoma. Its components and valving are designed specifically for Toyota Tacomas, so this KYB shock absorber is tuned to the truck rather than a generic fit.

• Monotube gas design: 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 — so it won't experience fade due to aeration.
• Extra damping: Adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks; the Gas-a-just monotube adds damping over the OE design for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
• Quick response: The higher gas pressure responds quickly to help improve steering response, and the high-pressure monotube separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
• Triple chrome plated rod: An ultra-smooth triple chrome plated piston rod reduces seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.

KYB notes the Gas-a-just helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed, since those systems depend on the suspension operating as the vehicle manufacturer intended. Signs a rear shock may need replacing include excessive bounce, nose dive, body sway, or fluid leakage. This KYB gas shock absorber is sold individually; replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced control.
