KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:SA1016
Steady your ride and control body motion with the KYB Gas-a-just Shock Absorber KG4163, a high-pressure monotube gas shock that drops in as a rear replacement for the 1999-2003 Infiniti QX4 and the 1999-2004 Nissan Pathfinder. This KYB shock absorber uses a monotube design with components and valving developed specifically for the Pathfinder and QX4.
Inside are two separate working chambers: an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, and a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston for a comfortable ride during normal driving with added performance on demand. Separating the gas and oil helps deliver fade-free operation and instant response even when the vehicle works, tows, or runs larger, heavier tires and wheels.
Sold individually; replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced handling.

What vehicles does the KYB KG4163 shock absorber fit?
It is a rear-position fit for the 1999-2003 Infiniti QX4 and the 1999-2004 Nissan Pathfinder. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact vehicle.
What is a KYB gas shock absorber monotube design?
It is a high-pressure monotube that keeps the gas and oil separated in distinct chambers, which helps prevent aeration fade and supports fast, consistent response.
How is the Gas-a-just different from a twin-tube shock?
It uses an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area plus a separate high-pressure nitrogen chamber with a floating piston, adding damping and response versus a traditional twin-tube.
Do I need to replace both rear shocks?
Shocks are sold individually, so this listing is for one. Replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced handling.
What are signs this shock may need replacing?
Excessive bouncing, a floaty ride, nose-dive when braking, or fluid leakage from the shock body are common signs. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
