KYB KG5476 Shock Absorber - Front

KYB Gas-a-Just Front Shock Absorber

The KYB Gas-a-just KG5476 is a front suspension shock absorber built for vehicles that see heavier use, including towing, work duty, and larger tire and wheel setups. It is engineered for direct-fit applications on select Honda Passport, Isuzu Rodeo, Isuzu Pickup, Nissan Pathfinder, Isuzu Amigo, Mazda B2200, Mazda B2600, Isuzu Trooper, and Mazda B2000 models.

Gas-a-just monotube construction separates gas and oil for consistent damping response, while the high-pressure design helps maintain control during demanding driving. If you are replacing worn front shocks on a 1994-1997 Honda Passport or a 1987-1995 Nissan Pathfinder, KYB Gas-a-just KG5476 is built to restore steering response and suspension control.

Key Features

• Up to 25% more damping performance than original equipment shocks
• Monotube design with separate gas and oil chambers for fade-resistant operation
• High-pressure nitrogen gas supports instant response and stable control
• Triple chrome plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear and fluid leakage
• Vehicle-specific valving and components for the listed applications
• Designed for vehicles that work, tow, or run larger, heavier tires and wheels
• Dust cover included

Product Details

The KYB Gas-a-just line is a performance-oriented shock absorber series that uses a monotube layout instead of a traditional twin-tube design. In the KG5476, the air-free hydraulic working area delivers responsiveness, while the nitrogen gas chamber adds pressure for quicker steering reaction and more controlled suspension movement. This makes it a strong choice for front-end replacement on older trucks and SUVs where load handling and road control matter. Part number KG5476 is also cross-referenced by Monroe Shocks & Struts 37022 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Excessive front-end bounce after bumps or dips
• Reduced steering response and loose road feel
• Shock fade during repeated suspension movement
• Fluid leakage from worn piston rod seals
• Poor control on vehicles with heavier tires, wheels, or towing use
