KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:SA1016
Firm up rear ride control on your classic hauler with the KYB shock absorber KG5416, a Gas-a-just high-pressure monotube that installs as a rear replacement to help restore your vehicle's original damping capabilities. It's a direct-fit rear unit for many trucks and vans, among them the 1970-1972 Chevrolet Blazer and 1967-1972 Chevrolet C10 Pickup — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of covered applications.
Two working chambers: an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas chamber with a floating piston for a comfortable ride during normal driving and added performance on demand.
Extra damping: adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks, with components and valving designed specifically for GM trucks that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
Fade-free monotube: the high-pressure monotube design separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
Chrome piston rod: an ultra-smooth triple chrome-plated piston rod is designed to reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure. The higher gas pressure of the Gas-a-just also responds quickly to improve steering response.
