Firm up the ride and control on your truck or SUV with the KYB Gas-a-just Shock Absorber (P/N KG5491), a high-pressure monotube gas shock that drops in as a rear-position, OE monotube replacement to help restore your vehicle's original capabilities. This KYB shock absorber is a direct-fit rear application for the 1989 Dodge Raider and the 1989-1991 Mitsubishi Montero — see the Buyer's Guide tab for full engine-level fitment.

This KYB gas shock absorber 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 that provides a comfortable ride during normal driving and adds performance on demand.

  • Up to 25% more damping: adds damping performance over original equipment shocks, with components and valving designed specifically for trucks.
  • Built for work and tow duty: extra damping over OE design for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
  • Fade-free monotube: the high-pressure design separates gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
  • Triple chrome-plated piston rod: an ultra-smooth rod helps reduce seal wear; higher gas pressure responds quickly to improve steering response.

KYB also notes the Gas-a-just helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed.
