Firm up the ride and keep your rear suspension in control with the KYB Gas-a-just Shock Absorber KG5045, a high-pressure monotube gas shock that drops in as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 2002-2007 Buick Rendezvous. Its components and valving are designed specifically for the Rendezvous, so it restores the damping your rear suspension needs.

The Gas-a-just uses a monotube design that separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response, with a triple-chrome-plated piston rod to reduce seal wear.

  • Monotube gas design: Two working chambers — an air-free hydraulic piston/valve area for responsiveness and a high-pressure nitrogen chamber with a floating piston — help resist aeration fade.
  • Quick response: The higher gas pressure is designed to improve steering response and add damping on demand.
  • Built for work: Adds up to 25% more damping over the original-equipment shock, suited to vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
  • Safety-system support: Helps keep electronic safety systems performing as the vehicle manufacturer intended.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicle does this shock fit?

The KYB KG5045 is a direct-fit rear shock absorber for the 2002-2007 Buick Rendezvous. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact vehicle.

Is this a front or rear shock?

This is a rear-position shock absorber. Its components and valving are designed specifically for the Buick Rendezvous.

What is a monotube gas shock?

It uses a single tube with separate high-pressure nitrogen gas and oil chambers divided by a floating piston, which separates gas from oil for fade-free operation and instant response.

Should I replace shocks in pairs?

This listing is for one shock. Replacing both sides of the axle together as a matched set is recommended for even, balanced ride and handling.

What are signs my shock may need replacing?

Signs include excessive bouncing, a harsh or unstable ride, uneven tire wear, or fluid leaking from the shock body. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
