KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:KG5447
Keep front-end damping composed and fade-free with the KYB Gas-a-just Suspension Shock Absorber KG5435, a high-pressure monotube gas shock that drops in as a front-position replacement for the 1973-1974 GMC Transmode. Its monotube design separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response, so the shock resists aeration even during hard, repeated cycles.
KYB notes the Gas-a-just also helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed, since those systems depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires operating as the vehicle manufacturer intended.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What vehicle does the KG5435 fit?
It is a front-position shock listed for the 1973-1974 GMC Transmode. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the fit for your vehicle.
What type of shock is this?
It's a KYB Gas-a-just high-pressure monotube gas shock that separates the gas and oil in a single tube for fade-free operation and instant response.
How is a monotube different from a twin-tube shock?
The monotube uses an air-free hydraulic piston plus a separate high-pressure nitrogen chamber with a floating piston, which helps it resist fade from aeration.
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.
What is the triple chrome-plated rod for?
Fluid leaking can cause shock failure, so the ultra-smooth triple chrome-plated piston rod is designed to reduce seal wear.
