KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:KG5444

Firm up ride control and resist fade with the KYB Gas-a-just Front Suspension Shock Absorber (MPN KG5444), a high-pressure monotube gas shock that installs as a direct-fit front replacement for the 1980-1982 Chevrolet LUV, 1987-1990 Mitsubishi Van, and 1998-2003 Nissan Frontier. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.

This monotube design separates the gas and oil into two working chambers — an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas chamber with a floating piston — for fade-free operation and instant response.

• Monotube gas design: Separates gas and oil so the shock never experiences fade due to aeration.
• Triple chrome-plated piston rod: An ultra-smooth rod helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
• Quick response: Higher gas pressure is designed to improve steering response and adds up to 25% more damping performance over original-equipment shocks.
• Built for work: Components and valving designed specifically for trucks, adding damping over OE for vehicles that work, tow, and carry larger, heavier tires and wheels.

Signs a front shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing, nose-dive under braking, and fluid seepage down the body.
