Shock Absorber for 1978-1979 Ford F-150 & More - KYB KG5429

Firm up a tired ride with the KYB shock absorber KG5429, a Gas-a-just high-pressure monotube gas shock for cars and trucks that fits the front or rear position on the 1974-1982 Checker Marathon, 1977-1979 Ford F-250, 1978-1979 Ford F-150, 1979 Ford F-350, and 1986-1989 Mitsubishi Fuso FK — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment.

Offered as an OE monotube replacement built to restore your vehicle's original capabilities, 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 that provides a comfortable ride during normal driving and adds performance on demand.

• High-pressure monotube design: separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
• Triple chrome-plated piston rod: an ultra-smooth rod helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
• Built to work and tow: adds damping over the OE design for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels — up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks.
• Quick response: the higher gas pressure responds quickly to help improve steering response and helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.

This KYB gas shock absorber is sold individually; replacing both units on the same axle together is recommended for balanced damping. Interchange: G63398 · 34909
