This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Is this a KYB gas shock absorber Excel G or a Gas-a-just?
This is the KYB Gas-a-just, a high-pressure monotube gas shock, not the Excel-G line. Its monotube design separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
What position does the KG54309 mount in?
It is cataloged as a FRONT shock absorber for the listed applications. Confirm fitment for your specific vehicle using the Buyer's Guide tab.
Does it fit my 1998-2011 Ford Ranger?
Yes. This shock is a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2011 Ford Ranger, along with several Ford, Mazda, and Mercury applications listed in the Buyer's Guide tab.
How much damping does the Gas-a-just add?
KYB states it adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks, with extra damping for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
Should I replace both front shocks at once?
This shock is sold individually. Replacing both front shocks as a matched pair is recommended for balanced, even ride control.
