KYB Gas-a-Just Front Right Strut for Lexus GS
The KYB Gas-a-Just 551106 is a monotube suspension strut built as an OE-style replacement for the front right position. It is engineered to restore the original control and handling expected on Lexus GS applications, including 2006-2011 Lexus GS350 and 2006 Lexus GS300.
Key Features
- Monotube OEM replacement design for direct suspension service
- Separate hydraulic and high-pressure nitrogen chambers for responsive damping
- High-pressure construction supports fade-resistant operation and quick response
- Triple chrome plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear
- Internal rebound spring included
- Designed for vehicles that tow, work, or use larger, heavier tires and wheels
- Supports proper operation of electronic safety systems when suspension performance is restored
Product Details
KYB Gas-a-Just struts use a monotube layout with an air-free hydraulic working area and a separate nitrogen gas chamber. That design helps deliver consistent control during normal driving while adding firmer response when the suspension is loaded. For Lexus GS owners, part number 551106 is a practical choice when replacing a worn front right strut on a 2007-2011 Lexus GS350, or on a 2006 Lexus GS300 following manufacturer service procedures. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Common Problems This Part Can Address
- Excessive front-end bounce or poor damping control
- Reduced steering response during braking or cornering
- Uneven ride quality caused by a worn front right strut
- Noise or vibration related to suspension wear when paired with aged mounts
- Loss of stability on heavier wheel and tire setups
Installation Notes and Tips
Fits 2007-2011 Lexus GS350, front right. Fits 2006 Lexus GS300, front right. For the GS300 application, replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5723, to help reduce noise and vibration. Verify compressed length, extended length, stroke, and mount dimensions before installation.
Quality Assurance
KYB is an OE suspension supplier, and the Gas-a-Just line is built to match original equipment monotube architecture for service replacement. Part number 551106 is designed to restore the vehicle’s intended suspension behavior on Lexus GS applications.
