KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:KG5782
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.
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.

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.
