Take control of every load with the KYB Gas-a-just Suspension Shock Absorber KG5446, a high-pressure monotube gas shock that installs as a direct-fit FRONT replacement for the 1980-1982 Chevrolet LUV, 1981-1986 Nissan 720, 1986-1994 Nissan D21, 1995-1997 Nissan Pickup, 1998-2001 Nissan Frontier, and 2000-2004 Nissan Xterra. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application list.

  • Monotube gas design: Separates the nitrogen gas and oil into distinct chambers for fade-free operation and instant response, avoiding the aeration that can plague twin-tube shocks.
  • Two working chambers: An air-free hydraulic piston and valve area handles responsiveness and control, while a high-pressure nitrogen area with a floating piston is designed for a comfortable ride during normal driving.
  • Triple chrome-plated piston rod: An ultra-smooth rod helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leakage can be a cause of shock failure.
  • Built for trucks: Components and valving designed specifically for trucks, adding up to 25% more damping over OE shocks for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.

Higher gas pressure is designed to improve steering response and help keep electronic safety systems performing as intended. Signs a shock may need replacing include a bouncy or wallowing ride, excessive body movement, uneven tire wear, or fluid weeping from the body.

Which vehicles does it fit?

How is a monotube different from a twin-tube shock?

The monotube design separates the nitrogen gas and oil into distinct chambers for fade-free operation and instant response, avoiding aeration that can affect twin-tube shocks.

What are signs my shock may need replacing?

A bouncy or wallowing ride, excessive body movement, uneven tire wear, or fluid weeping from the shock body can indicate a worn shock. Diagnose the cause before replacing.

Should I replace shocks in pairs?

This listing is for one shock. Replacing both sides on the same axle together is recommended so damping stays balanced side to side.
