KYB KG6197 Shock Absorber - Rear

KYB Gas-a-Just Rear Shock for Nissan Titan

The KYB Gas-a-just KG6197 is a rear monotube shock absorber built for 2004-2015 Nissan Titan applications. It is engineered to deliver firmer control than a traditional twin-tube design, with quick response for trucks that work, tow, or run larger wheels and tires.

Key Features

• Up to 25% more damping performance than original equipment shocks
• Monotube design separates gas and oil for fade-resistant operation and immediate response
• High-pressure nitrogen gas helps maintain consistent control during normal driving and load changes
• Triple chrome plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear and fluid leakage risk
• Valving and components are tuned specifically for Nissan Titan rear suspension applications
• Supports steering response and helps keep electronic safety systems operating as designed
• Dust cover included

Product Details

KYB Gas-a-just shocks use two working chambers: an air-free hydraulic section for control and a high-pressure gas section with a floating piston for ride comfort and instant performance on demand. For Nissan Titan owners, the KG6197 adds damping authority over OE shock design, which is useful when the truck carries heavier loads, tows, or uses oversized tires and wheels. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 37252) for the same application. The KG6197 is a direct-fit rear shock for 2004-2015 Nissan Titan models, and the KYB Gas-a-just line is focused on responsive suspension control for demanding truck use.

Common Problems This Shock Can Address

• Excessive rear bounce after bumps or dips
• Reduced control when towing or carrying cargo
• Soft or delayed shock response compared with OE damping
• Fluid leakage related to worn piston rod seals
• Loss of stability with heavier tires and wheels

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 2004-2015 Nissan Titan, rear.
• Verify compressed length, extended length, and mount style before installation: 14.76 in. compressed, 22.83 in. extended, 8.07 in. stroke.
• Upper mount type: E2(14X42); lower mount type: E2(14X48).
• Inspect related suspension bushings, mounts, and hardware condition before replacing the shock.
• After installation, confirm ride height, fastener torque, and suspension travel clearance.

Quality Assurance

KYB designs the Gas-a-just line as a monotube shock absorber with separated gas and oil chambers for consistent damping and fade-free operation. The KG6197 is built to match the rear suspension requirements of Nissan Titan trucks across the listed model years.
