    Help firm up a loaded ride with the KYB Gas-a-just Shock Absorber KG5493, a high-pressure monotube gas KYB shock absorber built as a direct-fit rear replacement. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1990-1996 Ford F-150, 1992-1998 Ford F-250 and 1989-2011 Ford Ranger. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full engine-level fitment. This monotube design separates the nitrogen gas and hydraulic oil for fade-free operation and quick response, with components and valving designed specifically for Ford trucks.

    • Monotube gas design: An air-free hydraulic piston/valve chamber for control plus a separate high-pressure nitrogen gas chamber with a floating piston, so it resists fade from aeration.
    • Up to 25% more damping: Adds additional damping over the OE shock for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
    • Triple chrome-plated piston rod: An ultra-smooth rod helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
    • Supports safety systems: Helps keep the electronic safety systems performing as designed by maintaining intended suspension operation.

    The higher gas pressure is designed to respond quickly for improved steering response.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What vehicles does the KYB KG5493 shock fit?

    It's a rear direct-fit for many vehicles, including the 1990-1996 Ford F-150, 1992-1998 Ford F-250 and 1989-2011 Ford Ranger. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.

    Is this a gas shock absorber?

    Yes. This KYB gas shock absorber is a high-pressure monotube design that separates nitrogen gas from the hydraulic oil for fade-free operation and quick response.

    What position does the KG5493 mount in?

    It is a rear shock absorber for the listed applications. Shocks are typically replaced in matched pairs, so consider replacing both rear units for balanced damping.

    How is this different from a twin-tube shock?

    The Gas-a-just monotube uses two separate chambers—an air-free hydraulic area and a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston—so it resists fade caused by aeration.

    What interchange numbers does this KYB shock replace?

    It cross-references 77461 and 911039. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section for the listed applications.
