KYB KG9024 Suspension Strut - Front

KYB Gas-a-Just Front Strut for Tacoma

The KYB Gas-a-Just KG9024 is a front suspension strut for 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma models. Built as an OE monotube replacement, it uses separate hydraulic and high-pressure gas chambers to deliver responsive damping, stable control, and consistent ride quality in daily driving and heavier-duty use.

Gas-a-Just Monotube Design

KYB’s Gas-a-Just line is engineered for vehicles that work harder than average, including Toyota Tacoma trucks used for towing, hauling, or running larger tires and wheels. The monotube layout separates gas and oil for fade-resistant operation and quick response, while the higher gas pressure improves steering feel and suspension control. This KG9024 front strut is designed specifically for Toyota Tacoma applications and adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks.

• Fits 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma, front
• OE-style monotube replacement for front suspension service
• High-pressure nitrogen gas chamber for instant response
• Triple chrome plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear
• Includes dust cover
• Designed for Tacoma trucks with work, tow, and heavier wheel/tire setups

Detailed Product Overview

The KYB KG9024 is built to restore front suspension control on Toyota Tacoma trucks while maintaining the original vehicle’s intended handling characteristics. Its air-free hydraulic piston area improves responsiveness, and the separate gas chamber supports consistent damping under load. With a compressed length of 13.58 inches, extended length of 18.19 inches, and 4.61 inches of stroke, this front strut is sized for the listed Tacoma fitment. The KG9024 also supports electronic safety systems by helping the suspension, brakes, and tires operate as designed.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71352 for the same application.

Common Problems This Strut Can Address

• Excessive front-end bounce or oscillation
• Reduced steering response on Toyota Tacoma trucks
• Fade in damping performance during repeated suspension movement
• Wear from fluid leakage at the piston rod seal area
• Loss of control with towing, hauling, or heavier wheel and tire setups

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma, front. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify upper and lower mount types before installation: upper mount type S1 (12 mm) and lower mount type E2 (14x40). Confirm suspension condition and inspect related components before completing the repair.
