KYB KG54322 Shock Absorber - Rear

KYB Gas-a-Just Rear Shock for Dodge Trucks

The KYB Gas-a-Just KG54322 is a rear monotube shock absorber built for Dodge Dakota and Dodge Durango applications that need firmer control and consistent damping. It uses a high-pressure gas design to separate oil and gas, helping maintain response during normal driving and under heavier load conditions.

Gas-a-Just Performance Features

• Adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks
• Monotube construction separates gas and oil for fade-resistant operation and quick response
• Higher gas pressure improves steering response and suspension control
• Triple chrome plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear and fluid leakage
• Valving and components are tuned for Dodge truck applications
• Dust cover included for added protection

Built for Rear Suspension Control

Gas-a-Just is KYB’s performance-oriented shock line for vehicles that work, tow, or run larger, heavier tires and wheels. The KG54322 uses an air-free hydraulic working chamber and a separate nitrogen gas chamber with a floating piston, giving the rear suspension of a Dodge Dakota or Dodge Durango more immediate damping response without the fade associated with twin-tube designs. This part number, KG54322, is a direct fit for rear applications listed below and is engineered to help the suspension keep pace with braking, cornering, and load changes.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 911140) for the same application.

• Excessive rear bounce after bumps or dips
• Reduced control when towing or carrying added weight
