This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Where does the KG5435 shock mount?
It is a front-position shock absorber for the 1973-1974 GMC TransMode. Front shocks work in pairs, so it's best to replace both sides together for balanced damping.
What vehicle does this KYB shock fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the front of the 1973-1974 GMC TransMode. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm fitment for your vehicle.
What is a monotube gas shock?
This KYB gas shock absorber uses a high-pressure monotube design that separates the gas and oil into separate chambers for fade-free operation and instant response, unlike a traditional twin-tube.
Does it offer more damping than the OE shock?
KYB states the Gas-a-just adds up to 25% more damping performance over original-equipment shocks, with valving designed for Heavy Duty trucks that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
Is this shock sold individually or as a pair?
This listing is for one shock absorber. Since front shocks operate as a pair, replacing both sides together is recommended for even, balanced damping.
