$52.99

Firm up the rear of your vintage Toyota with the KYB Gas-a-just shock absorber KG4762, a high-pressure monotube gas shock that mounts in the rear position. This KYB gas shock absorber drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1980-1987 Toyota Corolla and 1983-1988 Toyota Tercel — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine breakdown.

  • High-pressure monotube design: separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response, with an air-free hydraulic piston/valve area for control and a high-pressure nitrogen chamber with a floating piston.
  • Up to 25% more damping: adds up to 25% more damping performance over original-equipment shocks for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
  • Triple chrome-plated piston rod: since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure, the ultra-smooth triple chrome-plated rod is designed to reduce seal wear.
  • Tuned for Toyotas: components and valving designed specifically for Toyotas; higher gas pressure responds quickly to improve steering response and helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.

Signs this shock may need replacing include excessive bounce, nose-dive under braking, fluid seepage down the body, and reduced ride control.
