KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:KG5418
$64.99

Firm up the ride of your work van with the KYB shock absorber KG5418, a High Pressure Monotube Gas Shock from KYB's Gas-a-just line. This rear shock is a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of Dodge and Plymouth vans, including the 1999-2003 Dodge Ram 1500 Van, 1999-2003 Dodge Ram 2500 Van and 1999-2003 Dodge Ram 3500 Van — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

  • Gas-a-Just monotube design: two separate 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 that separates gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
  • Up to 25% more damping: adds damping performance over original-equipment shocks, with components and valving designed specifically for Dodge vans that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
  • Triple chrome-plated piston rod: an ultra-smooth rod reduces seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
  • Quick response: the higher gas pressure helps improve steering response and supports the electronic safety systems that depend on the suspension working as designed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the KYB KG5418 a front or rear shock absorber?

It is cataloged as a rear position shock absorber for the listed Dodge and Plymouth vans.

What makes this KYB gas shock absorber different from a twin-tube design?

The Gas-a-just monotube separates the high-pressure nitrogen gas from the oil in two chambers, so it resists fade due to aeration and responds instantly compared with a traditional twin-tube shock.

How much extra damping does the KG5418 provide?

KYB states the Gas-a-just adds up to 25% more damping performance over original-equipment shocks, with components and valving designed specifically for Dodge vans.

Does the KG5418 fit a 1999-2003 Dodge Ram 1500 Van?

Yes, it is listed for the 1999-2003 Dodge Ram 1500 Van, 1999-2003 Dodge Ram 2500 Van and 1999-2003 Dodge Ram 3500 Van, among others. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to verify your exact model and year.

How does the triple chrome-plated rod help this shock last?

Since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure, the ultra-smooth triple chrome-plated piston rod is designed to reduce seal wear as the rod cycles through the seal.
