Review on KYB KG54338 Gas-a-Just High Performance Gas Shock by Marcus Rash

Revainrating 5 out of 5

If it's not 10 points for price, maybe it's at least 8 points for quality.

Paid more money for this OE quality shock absorber upgrade for a 2003 Rodeo. The original shocks were fitted after less than 30,000 miles - somewhat disappointing, although our town has some bumpy RR junctions and other conditions which I believe can cause premature wear when ridden at high speed. I was planning on installing them myself, but I'm noticeably less skilled and determined than I used to be, so I was happy to find a local shop that didn't ask for a hand and a leg for their services. Of course it remains to be seen if they will last longer than the original tyres, but the ride quality is definitely there and I'm pretty sure the new set of tires will wear out better now. If I had something to criticize, it would probably substitute small, picture-only instructions (for several different products, of course) instead of actual written instructions. I was pleased (after purchase) to see that in response to a question, the Northern California syndicated auto repair columnist preferred this brand as the best choice for use by Asian manufacturers.

Pros
  • High pressure gas design provides instant extra control.
Cons
  • Vulgarity
