Replaced all 4 shocks on trooper with Kyb "gas a just" model. The old kyb super/ excel G model lasted 35k km. I have yet to test the new shocks on a mountain road but the ride feels tighter, more in control.
I was hesitant to buy the grey gas a just since they were firmer, harder to compress than the old super model, but couldn't find the old super part nos in the shops. No regrets though, the Gas a just are better.
I think the super/excel G model is too soft for the trooper. It compresses easily but can't expand immediately thus causing a "crash" over rough roads (bottoming out) even if lightly loaded.
The gas-a-just are firm but have better control of the trooper's weight. Road imperfections are better damped.
Cost? All 4 shocks cost less than one orig isuzu shock!
Kyb Gas-a-Just part nos for trooper/ UBR73:
Frt: 554125
Rr: 554127
Any comments from current users of kyb's "gas-a-just"?

February 29th, 2004 09:18 PM #3Been using Gas-A-Justs in my pajero since i forgot already. Ang tigas niyan pang hand compressed but they perform admirably when installed.
I got mine for P800.00 a piece. Makes perfect sense since changing all fours costs less than one OME shock. Pag nasira, palit agad. Kaya lang walang para sa rear ng Pajero.
I forgot.... i'm using OEM kasi bago na pala auto ko hehe. 3 way adjustable off the factory

February 29th, 2004 09:37 PM #5is the trooper you are mentioning the latest model?
sorry otep the trooper has ring/ring rear shocks. the pajero has stud/ring. and besides the trooper has longer rear shocks.
the hi-lux front shocks(leaf spring) can be used for your rear pajero since you are lifted naman. of the rear of the suzuki vitara.

February 29th, 2004 09:55 PM #8Otep,
I checked the Kyb catalog then looked for a shop that had the part i needed. What's the part no for pajero?
Arb,
Trooper is an 01 model but same series as current skyroof. Trooper uses stud/ring in front- will this work on Pajero?

Sana meron KYB brand na shocks para sa Paje ko.... im afraid MMC branded lahat (masakit sa bulsa)
OT lang ng kaunti.... anyone tried the KYB Monomaks (sira letter eks sa keyboard ko) yet? What about pricing? I saw a banner in banawe for this product pero didnt have time to stop and look.

March 1st, 2004 07:44 AM #14trup,
I called glenn's shop but asked for the super/ excel G model part nos ( 344279/344229) for trooper which they didn't have. Don't know if they have the Gas a just series. The Kyb part nos i used should work for trooper models from year 92 up, based on kyb catalog.
pajerokid,
What's the pajero's chassis series for the 4M40 engine? Is it the same chassis for the 4D56T model?
