This model features a compressed length of 16.57 inches and an extended length of 27.28 inches, providing a stroke length of 10.71 inches to accommodate suspension travel. The lower mount uses an E1 type, while the upper mount is an E2 (12x38) type, ensuring compatibility with specific vehicle suspension setups. The inclusion of a dust cover helps protect the shock shaft from dirt and debris, extending the service life of the component. This shock absorber does not include an internal rebound spring or bump stops (B-stop or R-stop), which is typical for this design to maintain consistent damping characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Applications and Issues Addressed\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestores vehicle stability and control on uneven road surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces excessive body roll during cornering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimizes suspension noise and vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproves braking performance by maintaining tire contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses worn or leaking shock absorber symptoms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the KYB Gas-a-just KG5486 shock absorber, ensure the correct orientation of the E1 lower mount and E2 upper mount to match the vehicle’s suspension design.
