KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:553389

Description

Firm up the rear ride and help restore factory control with the KYB Gas-a-just Shock Absorber 553389, a high-pressure monotube gas shock that drops in as an OE monotube replacement for the rear position on the 2013-2018 Ford C-MAX and 2010-2013 Mazda 3. This KYB shock absorber uses two separate working chambers — an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston for a comfortable ride during normal driving and instant performance on demand.

High-pressure monotube design: separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
Triple chrome-plated piston rod: since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure, the ultra-smooth rod is designed to reduce seal wear.
Quick response: the higher gas pressure responds quickly to help improve steering response and helps restore the designed control and handling of the 2010-2013 Mazda 3.
Safety-system minded: helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed, since they depend on suspension, brakes and tires working as intended.

KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5619) to reduce the chance of noise and vibration, and protecting the unit from dirt, debris and salt with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB125). Sold individually; replacing both rear sides together as a matched pair is best practice for balanced ride control.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicles does the KYB 553389 shock absorber fit?

It's an OE monotube replacement for the rear position on the 2013-2018 Ford C-MAX and the 2010-2013 Mazda 3. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm your exact vehicle.

Is this a KYB gas shock absorber or a strut?

It is the KYB Gas-a-just, a high-pressure monotube gas shock absorber. It uses separate nitrogen gas and hydraulic oil chambers with a floating piston for control and a comfortable ride.

How does the high-pressure monotube design help?

The monotube design separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response. The higher gas pressure also responds quickly to help improve steering response.

Do I need to replace both rear shocks at once?

Shocks are sold individually, so this listing is for one. Replacing both rear sides together as a matched pair is recommended for even, balanced ride control.

Are strut mounts or a boot included?

No. KYB recommends new strut mounts (SM5619) to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB Strut Boot (SB125) to protect the unit from dirt, debris and salt; both are sold separately.
