KYB 5510025 rear shock absorber for the 2013-2019 Ford Explorer and other vehicles damps rear suspension movement with a high pressure monotube gas design. The Gas-a-just design is made for vehicles that work, tow and carry larger, heavier tires and wheels, and adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks.
- Gas-a-just monotube design that separates gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response
- Air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control
- High-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston for a comfortable ride in normal driving
- Ultra-smooth triple chrome plated piston rod to reduce seal wear
- Higher gas pressure that responds quickly to improve steering response
Quick facts

Fluid seeping down the shock body, a bouncy ride or extra body sway over bumps can mean a shock is worn. Before you replace it, rule out tire pressure, tire wear and loose or worn mounts, since each can also make the ride feel loose.
