KYB KG5475 Shock Absorber - Front or Rear

KYB Gas-a-Just Rear Shock for Toyota 4Runner

The KYB Gas-a-Just KG5475 is a monotube suspension shock absorber built to restore OE-style control while adding firmer response for demanding driving. It is engineered for Toyota SUV applications that work harder than a standard commuter setup, including vehicles with towing loads and larger tires and wheels.

Key Features

• Monotube shock design with separate gas and oil chambers for consistent damping response
• Up to 25% more damping performance than original equipment shocks
• High-pressure nitrogen gas helps reduce fade and improve immediate response
• Triple chrome plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear and fluid leakage risk
• Valving and components designed specifically for Toyota SUVs
• Improves steering response through higher gas pressure and quicker reaction
• Supports electronic safety systems by helping the suspension operate as designed
• Dust cover included

Product Details

KYB Gas-a-Just KG5475 is an OE monotube replacement shock absorber for drivers who want controlled ride quality without losing everyday comfort. The Gas-a-Just line uses an air-free hydraulic working area for responsiveness and a separate high-pressure nitrogen chamber with a floating piston to maintain fade-resistant operation. This design is well suited to Toyota 4Runner rear suspension service and Toyota Land Cruiser front suspension service where load control and stability matter. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 37033) for the same application.

Compatible With 1990-1995 Toyota 4Runner, rear and 1981-1990 Toyota Land Cruiser, front. The KYB KG5475 is a direct-fit suspension shock absorber for these listed applications and is commonly searched as a Toyota 4Runner rear shock or Toyota Land Cruiser front shock replacement.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bounce or poor body control over bumps
• Reduced steering response from worn shock absorbers
• Fade during repeated suspension movement or heavier use
• Ride instability from towing, cargo, or larger tire and wheel setups
• Fluid leakage caused by seal wear in aging shocks

Installation Notes

For 1990-1995 Toyota 4Runner rear and 1981-1990 Toyota Land Cruiser front applications, replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify mount style and dimensions before installation: compressed length 13.35 in, extended length 20.91 in, stroke length 7.56 in, lower mount type E1L/E(19), upper mount type S1. Dust cover is included; internal rebound spring, B-stop, and R-stop are not included.

Quality Assurance

KYB designs the Gas-a-Just line as an OE-style monotube replacement for vehicles that need consistent damping and stable control. The KG5475 is built to support original suspension function on Toyota SUV applications while maintaining fade-resistant performance under demanding conditions.
