Shock Absorber for 1987-1990 Mitsubishi Van & More - KYB KG5401

Firm up ride control with the KYB Gas-a-just Shock Absorber KG5401, a high-pressure monotube gas shock that installs as a direct-fit replacement across the listed applications. It fits many vehicles in front and rear positions, among them the 1969-1984 Toyota Land Cruiser, 1959-1981 Jeep CJ5 and 1976-1981 Jeep CJ7 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

This KYB gas shock absorber uses a high-pressure monotube design that separates the gas and oil to resist fade and deliver instant response.

• Monotube gas design: An air-free hydraulic piston and valve area handles responsiveness and control, while a high-pressure nitrogen chamber with a floating piston supports a comfortable ride and adds damping on demand.
• Fade-free operation: Separating gas and oil helps prevent aeration, so the shock is designed to avoid the fade that can affect twin-tube designs.
• Triple-chrome-plated piston rod: An ultra-smooth triple-chrome-plated rod is designed to reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
• Truck-tuned damping: Components and valving designed for trucks add up to 25% more damping over original equipment shocks for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.

Worn shocks can show up as excessive bounce, nose dive, poor steering response, or uneven tire wear; if the original shock is the cause, this KYB unit replaces it. Replacing shocks in axle pairs is recommended for balanced ride control.
