KYB KG6196 Shock Absorber - Rear

KYB Gas-a-just Rear Shock for Nissan Titan

The KYB Gas-a-just KG6196 is a rear monotube shock absorber built for 2004-2015 Nissan Titan applications. It is designed to deliver firmer control than a conventional twin-tube design while maintaining a comfortable ride during normal driving.

Key Features

• Up to 25% more damping performance than original equipment shocks
• Monotube construction separates gas and oil for fade-free operation and quick response
• High-pressure nitrogen gas chamber adds performance on demand
• Triple chrome plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear and fluid leakage
• Valving and components are engineered specifically for Nissan Titan rear applications
• Supports vehicles that work, tow, or use larger, heavier tires and wheels
• Compatible with electronic safety systems that rely on suspension performance

Product Details

The KYB Gas-a-just line focuses on responsive damping through a two-chamber monotube design. The air-free hydraulic section handles normal suspension movement, while the high-pressure gas section provides immediate force when road conditions, load, or driving demands increase. For Nissan Titan owners looking for a rear shock absorber that restores control without sacrificing everyday ride quality, the KG6196 offers a direct-fit solution for the listed model years. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 37251) for the same application.

What This Shock Absorber Helps Address

• Excessive rear-end bounce over bumps and uneven pavement
• Reduced steering response caused by worn rear shocks
• Shock fade during towing, hauling, or heavier-duty use
• Fluid leakage associated with worn piston rod seals
• Loss of suspension control on Nissan Titan rear applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Compressed length is 15.35 in., extended length is 24.01 in., and stroke length is 8.66 in. The included dust cover helps protect the rod surface during service. Confirm the vehicle is equipped for the rear application listed before ordering. Part number KG6196 should be matched to the vehicle’s rear suspension position only.

Quality Assurance

KYB is known for suspension components engineered to OE-style standards, and the Gas-a-just design uses a high-pressure monotube layout to maintain consistent damping response. The triple chrome plated piston rod is used to reduce seal wear and support long-term operation under demanding conditions. Part number KG6196 is built for the specified Nissan Titan rear fitment.
