Firm up rear ride control on your SUV with the KYB Gas-a-just Suspension Shock Absorber KG4163, a high-pressure monotube gas shock that installs as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1999-2003 Infiniti QX4 and 1999-2004 Nissan Pathfinder. Its components and valving are designed specifically for the Pathfinder and QX4, and KYB adds additional damping over the OE design for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.

Unlike a traditional twin-tube, this monotube uses 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 for a comfortable ride and instant performance on demand.

  • High-pressure monotube design: separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response, and never experiences fade due to aeration.
  • Up to 25% more damping: adds up to 25% more damping performance over 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 help improve steering response and keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicles does the KYB KG4163 fit?

It is a direct-fit rear shock absorber for the 1999-2003 Infiniti QX4 and 1999-2004 Nissan Pathfinder. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact vehicle.

Is this a front or rear shock?

The KG4163 is cataloged as a rear-position shock absorber for the listed Pathfinder and QX4 applications.

How is a monotube gas shock different from a twin-tube?

It uses two separate chambers — an air-free hydraulic piston/valve area and a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston — which separates gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.

What does the triple chrome-plated piston rod do?

Fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure, so the ultra-smooth triple chrome-plated rod is designed to reduce seal wear.

Should I replace shocks in pairs?

This listing is for one shock, sold individually. Replacing both sides on the same axle as a matched pair is recommended for balanced ride control.
