Description

Help smooth out the bumps with the KYB shock absorber (KG5462), a High Pressure Monotube Gas Shock that installs as a direct-fit replacement in the front or rear position for the listed applications. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma, 1984-1989 Toyota 4Runner and 1984-1995 Toyota Pickup; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list. This is a KYB Gas-a-just monotube unit, engineered as a truck-focused upgrade over the traditional twin-tube design.

Monotube gas design: Two separate working chambers — an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston that separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
Built for trucks: 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 — adding up to 25% more damping performance over original-equipment shocks.
Triple chrome-plated piston rod: An ultra-smooth rod helps reduce seal wear; higher gas pressure responds quickly to help improve steering response.
Safety-system minded: Helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as the vehicle manufacturer designed.

Replacing shocks in pairs across an axle is recommended for balanced, even ride control.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the KYB gas shock absorber KG5462?

It is a KYB Gas-a-just High Pressure Monotube Gas Shock. The monotube design uses separate hydraulic and high-pressure nitrogen chambers with a floating piston for responsive, fade-free damping.

Yes. It is listed as a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma. The Buyer's Guide tab shows every other vehicle it fits.

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

The high-pressure monotube separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response, and it never experiences fade due to aeration, unlike the traditional twin-tube design.

Is this shock designed for trucks that tow?

Yes. Its 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.

What is the KYB shock absorber price and should I replace both sides?
