Description

Help firm up ride control with the KYB Gas-a-just Shock Absorber (KG5451), a high-pressure monotube gas shock absorber for the REAR position. This KYB shock absorber drops in as a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, including the 1995-2005 Chevrolet Blazer, 1992-2005 GMC Jimmy and 1982-2004 Chevrolet S10 — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.

High-pressure monotube design: separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
Two working chambers: an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston for comfort during normal driving.
Adds up to 25% more damping over original-equipment shocks; components and valving designed specifically for the GM S-Series and for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
Triple chrome-plated piston rod: an ultra-smooth rod that reduces seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.

The higher gas pressure of the KYB Gas-a-just responds quickly to help improve steering response.

How much more damping does it offer than an OE shock?

KYB states the Gas-a-just adds up to 25% more damping performance over original-equipment shocks, with components and valving designed specifically for the GM S-Series.

What are signs this shock may need replacing?

Common signs include fluid leaking from the shock body, excessive bouncing, and reduced ride control. Diagnose the cause before replacing, as other suspension parts can produce similar symptoms.
