Control body motion at the rear with the KYB Gas-a-just — a high-pressure monotube KYB shock absorber (KG5487) that installs as a direct-fit rear replacement for the listed applications. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1993-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 1989-2009 Ford Ranger and 2001-2009 Mazda B2300 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

  • Monotube gas design: keeps the gas and oil separated for fade-free operation and instant response, using two working chambers — an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for control, plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston.
  • Triple chrome-plated piston rod: an ultra-smooth rod that reduces seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
  • Higher gas pressure: responds quickly to help improve steering response and adds up to 25% more damping over original equipment shocks.
  • Built for trucks: components and valving designed for trucks, with additional damping over the OE design for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.

Because electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires operating as the vehicle manufacturer intended, the Gas-a-just helps keep those systems performing as designed. Sold individually; replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced ride control.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicles does the KYB shock absorber KG5487 fit?

It is a rear direct-fit for many vehicles, among them the 1993-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 1989-2009 Ford Ranger and 2001-2009 Mazda B2300. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

Is the KG5487 a front or rear shock?

This is a rear shock absorber.

What makes this a KYB gas shock absorber?

It uses a high-pressure monotube Gas-a-just design that separates the gas and oil into two working chambers for fade-free operation and instant response, with a high-pressure nitrogen gas area and floating piston.

Should I replace both rear shocks at once?

It is sold individually, so this listing is for one shock. Replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for even, balanced ride control.

What are signs a shock may need replacing?

Excessive bouncing, poor ride control, or fluid leaking from the shock can be signs of wear. Diagnose the cause first; if the shock is at fault, this replaces it.
