KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:KG5197

Firm up rear body control with the KYB shock absorber KG5197, a High Pressure Monotube Gas Shock built as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. This KYB Gas-a-just monotube runs 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 during normal driving with instant performance on demand. Its components and valving are designed specifically for Jeep Grand Cherokees.

• High-pressure monotube design: separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response, avoiding the aeration fade of a traditional twin-tube.
• Triple chrome plated piston rod: since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure, the ultra-smooth rod is designed to reduce seal wear.
• Added damping: adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks — extra control for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
• Steering feel: the higher gas pressure responds quickly to help improve steering response, and helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed.

A great choice if you're shopping for a KYB gas shock absorber. Sold individually; for even, balanced handling it's best practice to replace both rear shocks together as a matched pair.
