Firm up the ride and control body motion with the KYB Gas-a-just Suspension Shock Absorber KG5494, a high-pressure monotube gas shock that installs as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1991-1997 Toyota Previa. Its components and valving are designed specifically for the Previa, and KYB rates it to add up to 25% more damping performance over original-equipment shocks.

  • High-pressure monotube design: separates the nitrogen gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response, with no fade due to aeration.
  • Two 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.
  • 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 helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.

KYB notes the Gas-a-just monotube adds damping over OE design for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels. Signs a shock may need replacing include excessive bounce, nose dive, body sway, uneven tire wear, or fluid seepage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this shock fit my vehicle?

It is a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1991-1997 Toyota Previa. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the fit for your vehicle.

What position does the KG5494 mount in?

This is a rear shock absorber for the listed Toyota Previa applications.

What is a monotube gas shock?

It uses a single tube with high-pressure nitrogen gas separated from the oil by a floating piston, which provides fade-free operation and instant damping response.

Why does it have a triple chrome-plated piston rod?

The ultra-smooth triple chrome-plated rod is designed to reduce seal wear. Because fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure, reducing seal wear helps the shock hold up.

Should I replace shocks in pairs?

This listing is for one shock. It is best practice to replace both shocks on the same axle together as a matched pair for balanced, even control.
