KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:KG5462

$72.99

Description

Firm up ride control and keep damping fade-free with the KYB Gas-a-just Suspension Shock Absorber KG5462, a high-pressure monotube gas shock. It's a direct-fit replacement across the 1973 Ford M-400, 1974 Ford M-450, 1984-1989 Toyota 4Runner, 1988-1990 Toyota Land Cruiser, 1984-1995 Toyota Pickup, and 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma; this shock installs in the front or rear position depending on the application (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment).

Monotube gas design: Uses an air-free hydraulic piston/valve chamber for responsiveness plus a separate high-pressure nitrogen gas chamber with a floating piston, so the gas and oil stay separated for fade-free operation and instant response.
Built for trucks: Components and valving are designed specifically for trucks, adding damping over the OE design for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels — up to 25% more damping than original-equipment shocks.
Durable rod: An ultra-smooth triple-chrome-plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
Safety-system support: Helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed, and the higher gas pressure responds quickly to improve steering response.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of shock absorber is the KYB KG5462?

It's a KYB Gas-a-just high-pressure monotube gas shock absorber, using separate hydraulic and nitrogen gas chambers to keep the oil and gas apart for fade-free operation.

Does it fit the front or rear position?

This shock installs in the front or rear position depending on the application. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the correct position and fitment for your vehicle.

Which vehicles does the KG5462 fit?

It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1973 Ford M-400, 1974 Ford M-450, 1984-1989 Toyota 4Runner, 1988-1990 Land Cruiser, 1984-1995 Toyota Pickup, and 1995-2004 Tacoma.

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

The monotube keeps the high-pressure nitrogen gas separated from the oil with a floating piston, which the manufacturer states resists fade due to aeration and provides instant response.

What are signs this shock may need replacing?

Common signs include fluid leaking from the shock, excessive bouncing or reduced ride control, and poor steering response. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
