KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:KG5470

Firm up ride control and tame body motion with the KYB Gas-a-just Suspension Shock Absorber KG5470, a high-pressure monotube gas shock that installs as a direct-fit FRONT replacement for the 1987-1996 Dodge Dakota (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications). Its components and valving are designed specifically for Dodge Dakotas.

Unlike a traditional twin-tube design, the monotube uses 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 for a comfortable ride during normal driving and added performance on demand.

• High-pressure monotube: separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
• Extra damping: adds up to 25% more damping over original equipment shocks — built for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
• Triple chrome-plated piston rod: ultra-smooth finish helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
• Quick response: higher gas pressure responds quickly to help improve steering response and helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed.

Shocks wear as a set — replace both sides on the axle together for balanced control.
