Restore firm, controlled damping at the rear axle with the KYB Gas-a-just Shock Absorber (KG4545) — a KYB shock absorber that drops in as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1985-1989 Merkur XR4Ti, with components and valving designed specifically for that vehicle. This high-pressure monotube gas shock is offered as an OE monotube replacement to help return your Merkur to its original ride and handling capabilities.

  • Twin-chamber monotube design: an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, plus a separate high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston that supports a comfortable ride during normal driving and adds performance on demand.
  • Fade-free operation: the high-pressure monotube separates the gas and oil for consistent damping and quick response.
  • Added damping: Gas-a-Just monotubes provide additional damping over the OE design for vehicles that work, tow, or run larger, heavier tires and wheels — adding up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks.
  • Durable piston rod: an ultra-smooth triple-chrome-plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.

Higher gas pressure is designed to improve steering response, and the Gas-a-just helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed. Sold individually; replacing both rear shocks together is recommended for balanced ride control.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicle does the KYB KG4545 shock absorber fit?

It is a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1985-1989 Merkur XR4Ti, with components and valving designed specifically for that vehicle. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your application.

Is this a gas or hydraulic shock?

The KYB Gas-a-just is a high-pressure monotube gas shock absorber. It uses an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area plus a separate high-pressure nitrogen gas chamber with a floating piston.

What position does the KG4545 mount in?

This shock is cataloged for the rear position on the listed Merkur XR4Ti applications.

How does the monotube design help performance?

The high-pressure monotube separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and quick response, and provides additional damping over the OE design—up to 25% more than original equipment shocks.

Should I replace both rear shocks at once?

This KYB gas shock absorber is sold individually. Replacing both rear shocks together is recommended so damping stays balanced side to side.
