KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:KG5442

Firm up your truck's rear ride control with the KYB shock absorber KG5442, a high-pressure monotube gas shock that installs as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1980-1983 Ford Bronco, F-100 and F-150, the 1980-1997 Ford F-350, and the 1988-1997 Ford F-Super Duty. This Gas-a-just monotube uses two separate working chambers — an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness, plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston that separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.

• Monotube gas design: because the gas and oil stay separated, it resists fade from aeration and reacts quickly, which helps improve steering response.
• Triple chrome-plated piston rod: an ultra-smooth rod reduces seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
• Added damping: 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.
• Built for Ford trucks: components and valving designed specifically for Ford trucks, and it helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed.

If a worn or leaking rear shock is behind excess bounce or poor ride control, this KYB gas shock absorber replaces it. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment.
