Product Details

The KYB Gas-a-Just KG5449 is a high-performance monotube gas shock absorber designed to restore and enhance your vehicle's suspension capabilities. This premium shock provides superior handling 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 delivers instant responsiveness and precise control
  • High-pressure nitrogen gas chamber with floating piston separates oil and gas
  • Provides comfortable ride quality during normal driving conditions
  • Instant performance enhancement on demand during aggressive driving
  • Larger piston diameter than twin-tube shocks for improved damping characteristics
  • Consistent performance with better heat dissipation through single-tube construction
  • Direct OE monotube replacement for easy installation

The Gas-a-Just monotube design eliminates aeration and foaming common in twin-tube shocks, ensuring fade-free performance even under demanding conditions. The floating piston technology maintains consistent damping force while accommodating thermal expansion of the hydraulic fluid, making this shock ideal for drivers seeking improved handling without sacrificing ride comfort.

You have made it very easy so far with great price and all;

Have not installed and tested but happy so far !!!!

Great found #5040350 Poly RIB Belt

Prices are good little slow on the shipping but I hadn't put it in yet.

Everything went well from beginning to end. Thanks for making it so easy to get what I wanted!

Easy to navigate site simple check out

Autoplicity had the lowest list prices I could find anywhere for KC hilites! I was only going to get one pair, but the price was so good, I bought two! Shipping wasn't free and that's my only complaint. Regardless, it was only 12 dollars for a 300 and some-odd dollar order. Shipped in 3 days; should arrive soon!!!

I would def order again from them great price and fast shipping.

It was a good price with fast delivery. They had the lowest price I found. My only comment was the shipping cost was more then I expected.

I was able to find a part I couldn't find anywhere else, and at a reasonable price! Thank you!
