KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:KG5488
Firm up ride control on your motorhome with the KYB shock absorber KG6415, a High Pressure Monotube Gas Shock from KYB's Gas-a-Just line. It's a front-position, direct-fit replacement for the 1988-1997 Ford F-53 Motorhome Chassis. The Gas-a-Just monotube uses two separate working chambers — an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness, plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas chamber with a floating piston that helps deliver a comfortable ride during normal driving and added damping on demand.
This KYB gas shock absorber installs as a front unit for the listed application.

What vehicle does the KYB KG6415 shock absorber fit?
It is a front-position, direct-fit replacement for the 1988-1997 Ford F-53 Motorhome Chassis. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact application.
What position does this KYB gas shock absorber install in?
The catalog lists KG6415 as a FRONT shock. Shocks are typically replaced in pairs, so consider replacing both sides together for balanced ride control.
How is the KYB Gas-a-Just different from a twin-tube shock?
Its high-pressure monotube design separates the gas and oil into two chambers for fade-free operation and instant response, avoiding aeration that can affect twin-tube shocks.
Does this shock add damping over the original equipment?
KYB states the Gas-a-Just adds up to 25% more damping performance over OE shocks, with valving designed for Heavy Duty trucks that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
What are signs my shock absorber may need replacing?
Common signs include excessive bouncing, a harsh or unstable ride, uneven tire wear, or fluid leaking from the shock. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
