KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:KG5426
$65.99

Firm up ride control and shrug off fade with the KYB Gas-a-just Monotube Shock Absorber (KG5426), a high-pressure monotube gas shock that installs in the front position on a range of classic Jeeps. It fits the 1974-1983 Jeep Cherokee, 1982-1983 Jeep CJ5, 1982-1986 Jeep CJ7, 1984-1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, 1974-1988 Jeep J10, 1974-1988 Jeep J20, 1982-1985 Jeep Scrambler, and 1974-1983 Jeep Wagoneer — see the Buyer's Guide tab for full details.

Unlike a traditional twin-tube, the Gas-a-just 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 during normal driving and added performance on demand.

  • High-pressure monotube design: separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
  • Built for Jeeps: components and valving designed specifically for Jeeps, with added damping for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
  • Up to 25% more damping: adds up to 25% more damping performance over original-equipment shocks.
  • Triple chrome-plated piston rod: ultra-smooth rod that helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.

The higher gas pressure responds quickly to improve steering response, and the Gas-a-just helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as the vehicle manufacturer designed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What position does this shock install in?

The KYB Gas-a-just KG5426 is cataloged for the front position on the listed Jeep applications.

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

It uses one tube with 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.

Which vehicles does the KG5426 fit?

It fits the 1974-1983 Cherokee, 1982-1983 CJ5, 1982-1986 CJ7, 1984-1991 Grand Wagoneer, 1974-1988 J10, 1974-1988 J20, 1982-1985 Scrambler, and 1974-1983 Wagoneer. Check the Buyer's Guide tab.

What does the triple chrome-plated piston rod do?

The ultra-smooth rod is designed to reduce seal wear. Since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure, this helps protect the seal over time.

Should I replace shocks in pairs?

This listing is for one shock. Replacing shocks as an axle pair is a common best practice for balanced ride control; confirm the quantity your vehicle needs.
