Product Details

The KYB Gas-a-Just KG5438 is a high-performance monotube gas shock absorber engineered to deliver superior handling and ride quality. Unlike traditional twin-tube designs, this monotube shock features a single-tube construction with separate internal chambers that provide instant response and consistent performance without fade.

Advanced Monotube Design:

  • Dual-chamber system with separate hydraulic and nitrogen gas chambers for optimal performance
  • Air-free hydraulic piston and valve area ensures precise responsiveness and control
  • High-pressure nitrogen gas chamber with floating piston design
  • Eliminates shock fade caused by aeration during demanding driving conditions
  • Automatically adjusts to changing performance demands in real-time

Performance Benefits:

  • Maintains comfortable ride quality during normal driving conditions
  • Delivers instant performance enhancement when needed for aggressive maneuvers
  • Superior heat dissipation compared to twin-tube designs
  • Consistent damping force throughout the stroke range
  • Reduced body roll and improved vehicle stability

The KYB Gas-a-Just KG5438 is ideal for drivers seeking enhanced handling and control without sacrificing everyday comfort. Its monotube construction and high-pressure gas charge make it an excellent choice for performance-oriented vehicles and spirited driving applications.

I have used autoplicity a few times in the past. Prices are always very good and delivery was fast.

good price, fast shipping

Quick and simple order process!

My experience with Autoplicity was great, I couldn't have asked for better service. It's not everyday you order something online and it shows up two days sooner than first expected.

Thank you for having what I needed.

Very satisfied! My intake shipped on Friday and I received it on Tuesday. Not only super fast shipping, but a great deal to boot!

Good communications and prompt shipping. Price was cheapest I could find.

I ordered a hitch off of this site for Christmas, I have never heard of it nor did I know how they were, but they are great! Got my package in I'd say 4 days, very fast and it was exactly what I wanted! Only down fall was they charged me 3 times and I was short 150$ for a few days. I got my money back and I would definitely order again.

Very good customer service asked about a lot of different springs and parts for my Mazdaspeed 3.
