KYB Suspension Strut P/N:KG9004
KYB KG9144 front suspension strut assembly for the 2001-2004 Mitsubishi Montero damps front wheel movement as a high-pressure monotube gas strut. This KYB strut assembly adds up to 25% more damping than original equipment shocks.
A bouncy ride, nose dive or uneven tire wear can mean a front strut is worn out. Before you replace the strut, rule out worn strut mounts, tires and other suspension parts, because any of them may be behind the same complaint. The extra damping over the OE design suits vehicles that work, tow or run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
This KYB front strut assembly fits the 2001-2004 Mitsubishi Montero, which takes two. This listing is one front strut, and the other side of the front axle is normally done at the same time.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Is KYB KG9144 a front or rear strut for the 2001-2004 Mitsubishi Montero?
KYB KG9144 is a front strut for the 2001-2004 Mitsubishi Montero. That vehicle takes two, one on each side of the front axle.
Is this KYB suspension strut a twin-tube or monotube design?
This strut is a high-pressure monotube: hydraulic oil works in an air-free piston and valve area, while nitrogen gas sits in a separate area with a floating piston, so aeration does not cause fade.
What does the chrome piston rod do on this KYB suspension strut assembly?
The ultra-smooth triple chrome plated piston rod reduces seal wear. Fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure, so less seal wear matters.
Which strut mount and strut boot part numbers pair with KYB KG9144?
New strut mounts, part number SM5314, reduce the chance of noise and vibration with KYB KG9144. A strut boot, part number SB104, protects the strut from dirt, debris and salt.
Does an oily strut body mean this front strut has failed?
Yes, it can. Fluid leaking is one cause of shock failure, though a shop can confirm whether this front strut is the source.
