Sharpen rear ride control with the KYB shock absorber KG4536, a high-pressure monotube Gas-a-Just unit that adds damping over the original equipment design. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1987-1994 Chevrolet Beretta, 1982-1994 Chevrolet Cavalier and 1987-1994 Chevrolet Corsica. It installs in the rear position as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

This KYB Gas-a-Just shock absorber is built to adjust automatically to driving demands, an advantage over a traditional twin-tube design. It uses two separate working chambers. An air-free hydraulic piston and valve area provides responsiveness and control. A second high-pressure nitrogen gas area, with a floating piston, supports a comfortable ride in normal driving and adds performance on demand.

  • More damping: KYB rates it at up to 25% more damping performance than original equipment shocks. The extra damping is intended for vehicles that work, tow, or run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
  • Fade-free monotube: The high-pressure design keeps gas and oil apart for fade-free operation and instant response.
  • Seal protection: Fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure, so KYB uses an ultra-smooth triple chrome-plated piston rod to reduce seal wear.
  • Steering and safety systems: The higher gas pressure responds quickly and is designed to improve steering response. KYB states it helps electronic safety systems perform as designed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicles does the KYB KG4536 rear shock fit?

It fits many vehicles, among them the 1987-1994 Chevrolet Beretta, 1982-1994 Chevrolet Cavalier and 1987-1994 Chevrolet Corsica. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

How does the Gas-a-Just monotube design work?

It has two separate chambers: an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area, and a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston. Keeping gas and oil apart gives fade-free operation.

Is the KG4536 a KYB gas shock absorber?

Yes. It is a high-pressure monotube gas shock, with nitrogen gas held in a chamber separate from the hydraulic oil.

What does the triple chrome-plated piston rod do?

KYB uses an ultra-smooth triple chrome-plated piston rod to reduce seal wear, because fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.

What are signs a shock absorber may need replacing?

Signs include fluid leaking from the shock body, excessive bouncing after bumps and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing, because other parts can produce similar symptoms.
