KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:KG5603A
$59.99

Smooth out a rough ride and firm up handling with the KYB Gas-a-just Shock Absorber (MPN KG5603A), a high-pressure monotube gas shock that drops in as a front replacement for the 1987-1989 Dodge Raider and the 1983-1991 Mitsubishi Montero.

This KYB gas shock absorber uses a monotube design with two separate working chambers — an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas chamber with a floating piston for comfortable normal driving and performance on demand.

  • High-pressure monotube design: separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
  • Triple chrome-plated piston rod: an ultra-smooth rod helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
  • Quick steering response: the higher gas pressure of the Gas-a-just is designed to respond quickly to improve steering response.
  • Truck-tuned damping: components and valving designed specifically for trucks add up to 25% more damping over original equipment shocks for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.

KYB notes the 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicles does this KYB shock absorber fit?

It is a front replacement for the 1987-1989 Dodge Raider and the 1983-1991 Mitsubishi Montero. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the fit for your vehicle.

Is this a KYB gas shock absorber Excel G or Gas-a-just?

This is the KYB Gas-a-just, a high-pressure monotube gas shock. It is a different design from the Excel G twin-tube line.

What makes the monotube design different?

It separates the gas and oil into two chambers for fade-free operation and instant response, unlike a twin-tube shock.

How does it improve steering response?

The higher gas pressure of the Gas-a-just is designed to respond quickly, and KYB rates it for up to 25% more damping over original equipment shocks.

Should I replace shocks in pairs?

This listing is for one shock; replacing shocks as a matched pair on the same axle is recommended for balanced, even handling.
