Shock Absorber for 1987-1995 Nissan Pathfinder & More - KYB KG5438

Firm up handling and keep body motion in check with the KYB shock absorber KG5438, a High Pressure Monotube Gas Shock from KYB's Gas-a-just line. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1987-1995 Nissan Pathfinder, 1985-1995 Toyota Pickup and 1995 Toyota T100, and the catalog lists it for both the front and rear positions.

See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine-level detail.

• Monotube gas design: two separate working chambers — an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness, plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas chamber with a floating piston — separating gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
• Truck-tuned valving: components and valving designed specifically for trucks, with additional damping over the OE design for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
• Quicker steering response: higher gas pressure responds quickly to improve steering response and adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks.
• Triple chrome-plated piston rod: since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure, the ultra-smooth triple chrome plated rod helps reduce seal wear.

Because electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes and tires operating as the vehicle manufacturer intended, the Gas-a-just helps keep those systems performing as designed. Shocks wear as a set, so replacing both units on an axle together is recommended for balanced ride control; this listing is for one shock.
