KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:KG5477
Help restore firm, controlled damping to your van with the KYB shock absorber KG5494, a high-pressure monotube Gas-a-just unit that fits the rear of the 1991-1997 Toyota Previa (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). Its components and valving are designed specifically for the 1991-1997 Toyota Previa, so this KYB gas shock absorber drops in as a direct-fit rear replacement for the listed application.
Monotube Gas-a-just design: 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 — separate the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
Added damping: Adds up to 25% more damping performance over original-equipment shocks, with extra damping over the OE design intended for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
Smooth, responsive build: An ultra-smooth triple-chrome-plated piston rod reduces seal wear, and the higher gas pressure responds quickly to improve steering response.
The KYB Gas-a-just also helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed, since those systems depend on the suspension operating as the vehicle manufacturer intended.
