KYB 5510053 Suspension Strut - Front

KYB Gas-a-just Front Strut for Frontier

The KYB Gas-a-just 5510053 is a front suspension strut for the 2022-2026 Nissan Frontier. It uses a monotube design with separate hydraulic and high-pressure gas chambers to support responsive damping and consistent ride control in everyday driving.

Key Features

• Monotube suspension strut for front application
• Air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for direct response
• High-pressure nitrogen gas chamber with floating piston
• OE monotube replacement for restoring original suspension behavior
• Compressed length: 10.31 in; extended length: 14.29 in; stroke length: 3.98 in
• Lower mount type: E2(14.2x42); upper mount type: S1(12MM)

Product Details

KYB Gas-a-just struts are built around a monotube layout that separates the working hydraulic section from the gas charge. That design helps maintain control during normal street use while providing firmer response when the suspension is loaded or the road surface changes quickly. Part number 5510053 is a front strut for the Nissan Frontier and is listed as a recommended OEM replacement for 2022-2026 models.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce over bumps
• Reduced steering response from worn struts
• Nose dive during braking
• Uneven ride control on rough pavement
• Loss of suspension damping consistency

Installation Notes

Fits 2022-2026 Nissan Frontier, front. Verify mount style, compressed length, and extended length before installation. The dust cover is not included. Confirm the upper and lower mounting points match the original strut before replacing the existing unit.

Quality Assurance

KYB is known for OE suspension engineering, and the Gas-a-just line is positioned as an OE monotube replacement for restoring factory-style suspension capability. Part number 5510053 is built to match the listed Frontier front application.
