This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What position does this shock fit?
The KG5415 is a REAR shock absorber. Shocks are best replaced as a pair on the same axle for balanced ride control.
What makes the Gas-a-just monotube different from a twin-tube shock?
Its high-pressure monotube design separates the gas and oil in a single tube for fade-free operation and instant response, and it won't experience fade due to aeration.
Will this fit my vehicle?
It's a direct-fit replacement for many 1973-1991 Chevrolet and GMC trucks, vans, and SUVs. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact year, make, and model among the 68 applications.
How much damping does it add over stock?
KYB rates the Gas-a-just at up to 25% more damping performance over original-equipment shocks, with components and valving designed specifically for GM trucks.
What are signs my shocks need replacing?
Common signs include excessive bouncing, body sway, bottoming out over bumps, nose dive when braking, and uneven or cupped tire wear. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause.
