KYB KG5782 Shock Absorber - Front

KYB Gas-a-Just Front Shock for Hummer H2

The KYB Gas-a-Just KG5782 is a monotube suspension shock absorber built as an OE-style replacement for the front of the 2003-2007 Hummer H2. It is engineered to restore original handling response while adding the firmer control needed for towing, work use, and heavier wheel and tire setups.

Gas-a-Just Product Line

KYB Gas-a-Just shocks use a monotube design with separate hydraulic and high-pressure nitrogen gas chambers. That layout supports quick response, consistent damping, and fade-resistant operation during normal driving and under load. The KG5782 is part of KYB’s Gas-a-Just line for vehicles that need more control than a standard twin-tube shock.

Key Features

• OE monotube replacement for the front suspension
• Restores designed control and handling on the Hummer H2
• Monotube construction separates gas and oil for consistent response
• High gas pressure improves steering response
• Triple chrome plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear
• Built for vehicles that tow, work, or run larger tires and wheels
• Dust cover included
• B-stop and R-stop included in the design

Detailed Description

KYB KG5782 is a front suspension shock absorber for 2003-2007 Hummer H2 models. It uses a high-pressure monotube design with an air-free hydraulic working area and a separate nitrogen gas chamber, which helps maintain damping consistency and immediate reaction to suspension movement. The result is direct steering feel and controlled ride behavior for a full-size SUV that sees demanding use. This part number, KG5782, is a direct-fit option for drivers replacing worn front shocks on the Hummer H2.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 911507) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce over bumps
• Loose or delayed steering response
• Reduced control when towing or carrying heavier loads
• Shock fade during repeated suspension movement
• Ride instability from worn front shock absorbers

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2003-2007 Hummer H2, front. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify compressed length, extended length, and mount style before installation. The KG5782 uses an E2(14.6X34) lower mount and S1 upper mount, with a compressed length of 11.22 in., extended length of 15.23 in., and stroke length of 4.01 in.

Quality Assurance

KYB is known for OE-style suspension engineering, and the Gas-a-Just line is built to restore factory-like control with monotube performance characteristics. The KG5782 is designed for direct replacement use on the specified Hummer H2 front application.
