KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:KG4507
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.
Shocks wear as a set — replace both sides on the axle together for balanced control.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What vehicles does the KYB KG5470 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 monotube or twin-tube shock?
It is a high-pressure monotube gas shock. The design separates the gas and oil in separate chambers for fade-free operation and instant response.
What makes the Gas-a-just different from OE shocks?
It adds up to 25% more damping over original equipment shocks and is built for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
Why does it have a triple chrome-plated piston rod?
Fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure, so the ultra-smooth triple chrome-plated rod helps reduce seal wear.
Should I replace shocks in pairs?
Shocks wear over time, so replacing both sides on the axle together is recommended for balanced, even control. Each shock is sold individually.
