KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:555609

Description

Firm up rear ride control on your Corvette with the KYB Gas-a-just Shock Absorber 555609, a high-pressure monotube gas shock that installs as a direct-fit rear OE-replacement for the 1997-2013 Chevrolet Corvette. This KYB shock absorber is the correct, monotube-designed OE monotube replacement, built to help restore the Corvette's designed control and handling.

Two-chamber monotube design: an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, plus a separate high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston for a comfortable ride during normal driving and added performance on demand.
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.
Higher gas pressure: this KYB gas shock absorber responds quickly to help improve steering response.
Supports electronic safety systems: because those systems depend on the suspension, brakes and tires working as intended, the Gas-a-just helps keep them performing as designed.

The high-pressure monotube design separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response, and the Gas-a-just line is designed for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels. Sold individually; order 2 to replace the rear axle as a matched pair for balanced ride control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this KYB shock fit my Chevrolet Corvette?

Yes. MPN 555609 is a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1997-2013 Chevrolet Corvette. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your specific year and engine before ordering.

Is this a monotube or twin-tube shock?

It's a high-pressure monotube gas shock with two separate working chambers: an air-free hydraulic piston/valve area and a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston.

What is a KYB gas shock absorber?

It's a shock that uses high-pressure nitrogen gas alongside hydraulic fluid. In this Gas-a-just, the monotube design separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and quick response.

Should I replace both rear shocks at the same time?

It's best practice. This shock is sold individually, so order 2 and replace the rear pair together for even, balanced ride control.

What are signs my rear shocks may need replacing?

Fluid leaking from the shock, a bouncy or poorly controlled ride, and reduced stability can be signs. Diagnose the cause first; if a worn shock is at fault, this replaces it.
