KYB 554378 rear shock absorber for the 2009-2017 Chevrolet Traverse and other vehicles uses a high-pressure nitrogen gas chamber to damp suspension movement. This KYB shock absorber adds up to 25% more damping than original equipment shocks.
- KYB Gas-a-Just monotube with an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston
- High-pressure monotube design separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response
- Triple chrome plated piston rod to reduce seal wear
- Higher gas pressure for quick response and improved steering response
- Additional damping for vehicles that work, tow and have larger, heavier tires and wheels

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this KYB rear shock absorber right for the 2009-2017 Chevrolet Traverse?
Yes. KYB 554378 is listed for the 2009-2017 Chevrolet Traverse, which takes two at the rear; for other models, open the "Vehicles it fits" section.
Does this KYB gas shock absorber fit the 2007-2016 GMC Acadia?
Yes. KYB 554378 is listed for the 2007-2016 GMC Acadia, and its components and valving are designed specifically for GM SUVs.
How does a KYB gas a just shock absorber differ from a twin-tube shock?
It is a monotube with an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area and a separate high-pressure nitrogen chamber with a floating piston, so it does not fade from aeration.
Can a leaking rear shock be spotted by eye?
Yes: with the engine off, look at the shock body and rod for oily wetness, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure. The KYB 554378 has a triple chrome plated piston rod to reduce seal wear.
Does the KYB 554378 replace part number 20757505?
Yes. 20757505 is one of the numbers this KYB 554378 replaces, along with 23147603 and 25822946.
