KYB KG5743 Shock Absorber - Rear

Rear Shock for Montero Performance Control

The KYB Gas-a-just KG5743 is a rear suspension shock absorber for 2001-2006 Mitsubishi Montero models. It uses a monotube design with separate gas and oil chambers for quick response, consistent damping, and reduced fade during demanding driving.

Built for the Mitsubishi Montero, KG5743 adds damping performance over original equipment shocks and is suited for vehicles that tow, carry added weight, or run larger tires and wheels. The Gas-a-just line is engineered to deliver a controlled ride in normal driving while adding firmer response when suspension demand increases.

Key Features

• Fits 2001-2006 Mitsubishi Montero, rear
• Monotube shock design with high-pressure nitrogen gas
• Separate gas and oil chambers for fade-resistant operation
• Up to 25% more damping performance than original equipment shocks
• Triple chrome plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear
• Dust cover included
• Designed specifically for the Mitsubishi Montero application

Gas-a-just Product Line

KYB Gas-a-just shocks are built for drivers who want more control than a standard twin-tube design can provide. The monotube construction responds quickly to suspension movement, and the higher gas pressure helps improve steering response while maintaining ride comfort during everyday use. This makes KG5743 a practical rear shock choice for a Mitsubishi Montero used in mixed driving conditions.

What This Shock Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce after bumps
• Reduced control when towing or carrying heavier loads
• Soft or inconsistent damping from worn OE shocks
• Suspension fade during repeated compression cycles
• Loose rear-end feel on a Mitsubishi Montero

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2001-2006 Mitsubishi Montero, rear. Verify compressed length, extended length, stroke length, and mount types before installation: lower mount E2(14X48) and upper mount S1. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 911250) for the same application.

Quality Assurance

KYB designs Gas-a-just shocks with a monotube layout that separates gas and oil to maintain consistent damping performance. The triple chrome plated piston rod is used to help reduce seal wear and support long-term shock operation on the Mitsubishi Montero.
