Product Details

The KYB Gas-a-Just KG5557 is a high-performance monotube gas shock absorber designed to restore and enhance your vehicle's handling and ride quality. This premium shock utilizes advanced monotube technology to deliver superior response and control compared to traditional twin-tube designs.

Key Features:

  • Monotube design with two separate working chambers for optimal performance
  • Air-free hydraulic piston and valve area provides immediate responsiveness and precise control
  • High-pressure nitrogen gas chamber with floating piston separator eliminates aeration and foaming
  • Delivers comfortable ride quality during normal driving conditions
  • Instant performance enhancement on demand during aggressive driving or heavy loads
  • Direct OE monotube replacement for easy installation
  • Fade-resistant performance under demanding conditions

The Gas-a-Just monotube construction keeps the oil and gas separated by a free-floating piston, ensuring consistent damping performance. The nitrogen gas pressurization helps maintain tire contact with the road surface while reducing body roll and improving stability. Ideal for drivers seeking improved handling without sacrificing everyday ride comfort.

Ordered a couple of items. The first was a air intake kit. I had put in all my info for my truck and chose one from the list to order. Won't fit. Called to tell them and they asked if I had called manufacturer...ummm no. Said I needed to contact them to verify wrong part. They were closed, so went to website. The part they sent me was a universal fit- for cars, not trucks, but did find right model- $90 more. Called back autoplicity and was told I need to go through email to get an RA# to return wrong part- site says I can call. Been on hold for over 20 mins and still waiting. Hope the Nerf bars I ordered fit! Update- they called me back, got my RA#. Very pleased with how Nick handled things- it was what I expected the first time. He verified the NERF bars will fit and will be changing the website so the universal intake does not show on list for vehicles with larger air outlets. Changing my rating to show my satisfaction with how it was eventually handled.

Lowest prices of what I was looking for and super fast shipping!!
