Firm up rear-end control and tame body motion with the KYB Gas-a-just Suspension Shock Absorber (KG6796), a high-pressure monotube gas shock cataloged for the rear position. It drops in as an OE monotube replacement for the 1998-2003 Jaguar Vanden Plas, 1998-2003 Jaguar XJ8, and 1998-2003 Jaguar XJR — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details on your vehicle.

  • 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 and added 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 that helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
  • Added damping: Gas-a-just monotubes include additional damping over the OE design for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels — adding up to 25% more damping performance over original-equipment shocks.

The higher gas pressure responds quickly to help improve steering response, and the shock helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed.

What position is this shock absorber for?

This KYB Gas-a-just is a rear shock absorber for the listed Jaguar applications.

What is a high-pressure monotube gas shock?

It uses a single tube with two working chambers — an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area, plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston that separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation.

How much damping does the Gas-a-just add over OE?

KYB states the Gas-a-just adds up to 25% more damping performance over original-equipment shocks, with additional damping for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.

What are signs my rear shocks may need replacing?

Excessive body motion, bouncing, reduced ride control, or fluid leaking from the shock may indicate wear. Have the suspension diagnosed, as symptoms can have other causes.
