KYB KG4528 Shock Absorber - Front

KYB Gas-a-just Front Shock Absorber

The KYB Gas-a-just KG4528 is a front suspension shock absorber built for Chrysler and Dodge applications that need firmer control than a standard twin-tube design. It uses a monotube layout with separate gas and oil chambers to deliver quick response, consistent damping, and reduced fade during demanding driving.

For drivers servicing a Chrysler Fifth Avenue, Imperial, New Yorker, Town & Country, LeBaron, Newport, or Dodge Aspen/Monaco front suspension, this KYB Gas-a-just shock is engineered to restore control and steering response while maintaining a controlled ride in normal use.

Key Features

• Part number KG4528 front suspension shock absorber
• Monotube design separates gas and oil for fade-resistant operation
• Up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks
• Vehicle-specific valving and components for the listed Chrysler and Dodge applications
• High gas pressure helps improve steering response
• Triple chrome plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear
• Designed for vehicles that work, tow, or run larger, heavier tires and wheels
• Compatible with electronic safety systems that rely on suspension performance

Gas-a-just Product Line Details

KYB Gas-a-just shocks are tuned for drivers who want more control than a conventional OE-style replacement can provide. The monotube construction gives the shock an air-free hydraulic working area for responsiveness and a separate high-pressure nitrogen chamber for consistent performance as suspension demands change. That makes the KG4528 a practical upgrade for older Chrysler and Dodge front suspensions that need stable damping under load.

Detailed Description

The KYB KG4528 measures 7.36 inches compressed, 11.1 inches extended, and provides 3.74 inches of stroke. It uses S1 upper and lower mounts and does not include a dust cover, internal rebound spring, B-stop, or R-stop. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 5829 for the same application.

Compatible With 1983-1989 Chrysler Fifth Avenue, front; 1981-1983 Chrysler Imperial, front; 1974-1975 Chrysler Imperial, front; 1982 Chrysler New Yorker, front; 1974-1978 Chrysler New Yorker, front; 1982 Chrysler Town & Country, front; 1974-1978 Chrysler Town & Country, front; 1977-1981 Chrysler LeBaron, front; 1976-1980 Dodge Aspen, front; 1974-1978 Chrysler Newport, front; and 1974-1976 Dodge Monaco, front.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce or float
• Reduced steering response during lane changes or braking
• Shock fade from heat and repeated suspension movement
• Loss of control on vehicles carrying added weight or larger tires and wheels
• Uneven damping feel from worn front shocks

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify mount style, compressed length, extended length, and stroke before installation. This KG4528 is for front applications only and is listed for vehicles without air suspension where noted. Inspect related suspension components, including bushings and mounting points, before replacing the shock absorber to ensure proper operation.

Quality Assurance

KYB designs Gas-a-just shocks with monotube construction and vehicle-specific valving to maintain consistent damping performance. The triple chrome plated piston rod is used to help reduce seal wear and support long-term reliability in demanding front suspension service.
