KYB KG6797 Shock Absorber - Rear

KYB Gas-a-just Rear Shock for Jaguar XJ

The KYB Gas-a-just KG6797 is a monotube suspension shock absorber built as an OE-style replacement for select Jaguar XJ rear applications. It is engineered to restore original ride control while adding quicker response for vehicles that carry more load, tow, or use 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 chamber improves steering response and control
• Triple chrome plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear and fluid leakage
• Components and valving are tuned for Jaguar XJ rear suspension applications
• Dust cover included

Product Details

Gas-a-just is KYB’s monotube shock line for drivers who want firmer control without giving up everyday ride quality. The KG6797 uses two working chambers: an air-free hydraulic section for responsiveness and a high-pressure gas section with a floating piston for consistent damping. That design helps the shock react quickly during normal driving and deliver added control when the suspension is working harder. This part number, KG6797, is a direct-fit rear shock absorber for select 1994-1997 Jaguar XJ6 and XJ12 models, including recommended OEM replacement applications from 12/94.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 39028 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear-end bounce after bumps
• Reduced steering response from worn suspension damping
• Fluid leakage caused by seal wear
• Fade in repeated suspension movement
• Loss of control on heavier-equipped Jaguar XJ vehicles

Installation Notes

Fits 1995-1997 Jaguar XJ6, rear. Fits 1995-1996 Jaguar XJ12, rear. Fits 1994 Jaguar XJ12, rear. Fits 1994 Jaguar XJ6, rear. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions where specified. Verify upper and lower mount types before installation: upper mount S1 and lower mount E2(14X48). Confirm compressed length, extended length, and stroke length against the original unit before service.

Quality Assurance

KYB designs Gas-a-just shocks as OE monotube replacements to restore factory suspension behavior with improved damping response. The KG6797 is built with a high-pressure monotube layout and a chrome piston rod to support consistent operation in rear Jaguar XJ applications.
