What vehicle does the KYB Gas-a-just KG5469 fit?
It is a direct-fit front shock absorber for the 1987-1996 Dodge Dakota. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the correct application for your vehicle.
Is this a gas or hydraulic shock?
It is a high-pressure monotube KYB gas shock absorber that separates the nitrogen gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
How is the monotube different from a twin-tube design?
The monotube keeps the hydraulic piston and valve area air-free and adds a high-pressure nitrogen chamber with a floating piston, so it resists fade caused by aeration.
Are front shocks sold in pairs?
This listing is for one shock. It is best practice to replace the front pair together as a matched set for balanced, even ride control.
What are signs a front shock may need replacing?
Signs may include excessive bouncing, nose-dive under braking, an uneven ride, or fluid leaking from the shock body. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
