KYB Gas-a-just Monotube Rear Shock Absorber KG3198 for Triumph Spitfire, Herald, GT6, TR7 and TR8

The Gas-a-just monotube shock absorber is available as an OE monotube replacement to restore your vehicles original capabilities. The KYB Gas-a-just has two separate working chambers: An air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, and a second high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston that provides a comfortable ride during normal driving and adds instant performance on demand.

• Electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes and tires operating as the vehicle manufacturer intended. The KYB Gas-a-just helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed.

Restore responsive handling and controlled ride performance with the KYB Gas-a-just monotube rear shock absorber, part number KG3198. Designed as an original-equipment-style replacement, this shock absorber helps return your classic Triumph's suspension to its intended operating characteristics. Its monotube construction separates the working hydraulic area from the high-pressure nitrogen gas chamber for consistent damping response and improved control.

The KYB Gas-a-just features an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area that responds quickly to suspension movement. A floating piston separates this area from the high-pressure nitrogen gas chamber, helping reduce aeration and maintain damping performance during normal driving and more demanding road conditions. The result is a controlled ride with added responsiveness when needed.

• Electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes and tires operating as the vehicle manufacturer intended. The KYB Gas-a-just helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed.

This rear shock absorber is engineered for select Triumph applications, including Spitfire, Herald, GT6, TR7 and TR8 models from the listed fitment years. Confirm vehicle application and suspension position before installation. Each package includes one KYB Gas-a-just rear shock absorber for replacement service.
