Bring firm, fade-free damping back to the rear of your truck with the KYB shock absorber KG6196, a Gas-a-just high-pressure monotube gas shock that drops in as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 2004-2015 Nissan Titan. Its components and valving are designed specifically for Nissan Titans, adding damping over the OE design for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.

  • High-pressure monotube design: separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response, so it won't experience 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.
  • Adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks; the higher gas pressure responds quickly to help improve steering response.

KYB designed the Gas-a-just to help keep electronic safety systems performing as intended, since those systems depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires operating as the vehicle manufacturer intended. This is a rear shock absorber.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicles does the KYB shock absorber KG6196 fit?

It is a direct-fit rear shock absorber for the 2004-2015 Nissan Titan. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the exact fit for your vehicle.

Is this a front or rear shock?

This is a rear shock absorber. KYB sells shocks individually, so replacing both rear units together as a matched pair is recommended for even, balanced damping.

What makes this KYB gas shock absorber different from a twin-tube?

The Gas-a-just high-pressure monotube design separates the gas and oil in two chambers for fade-free operation and instant response, rather than the traditional twin-tube design.

Why does the piston rod have a chrome-plated finish?

The ultra-smooth triple chrome-plated piston rod is designed to reduce seal wear. Fluid leaking past a worn seal can be a cause of shock failure.

What are signs my rear shocks may need replacing?

Common signs include excessive bouncing, reduced ride control, fluid leaking from the shock body, and poor handling while towing or hauling. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
