KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:SA1016
Keep your Dodge truck's front suspension controlled under load with the KYB Gas-a-just Shock Absorber KG5422, a high-pressure monotube gas shock. This KYB shock absorber installs in the FRONT position and is a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of Dodge and Plymouth trucks, including the 1974-1993 Dodge Ramcharger, 1977-1993 Dodge W150, 1981-1993 Dodge W250, 1981-1993 Dodge W350, and the 1974-1981 Plymouth Trailduster — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications.
How it works: The Gas-a-just monotube separates the oil and high-pressure nitrogen gas into two working chambers — an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness, plus a high-pressure gas area with a floating piston. Separating gas and oil is designed to resist fade from aeration for consistent damping.
