KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:KG5782
Bring back firm, fade-free rear damping with the KYB Gas-a-just Suspension Shock Absorber KG5504, a high-pressure monotube gas shock for cars and trucks. It installs as a direct-fit rear replacement across a wide range of classic GM applications, including the 1964-1973 Pontiac GTO, 1968-1977 Chevrolet Chevelle, 1968-1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass, 1980-1989 Buick Electra, and 1977-1996 Chevrolet Caprice — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 47 applications.
The higher gas pressure responds quickly to improve steering response, and the Gas-a-just helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed by supporting the suspension, brakes, and tires. Its added damping suits vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.

What position does the KG5504 shock fit?
The KG5504 is a rear Gas-a-just monotube shock absorber. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the correct application for your specific vehicle.
How is a monotube design different from a twin-tube shock?
The high-pressure monotube separates the nitrogen gas and oil into two working chambers for fade-free operation and instant response, and it never fades due to aeration.
Does this shock add more damping than the factory shock?
KYB states the Gas-a-just adds up to 25% more damping over original equipment shocks, with valving designed specifically for classic GM cars.
Should I replace both rear shocks at the same time?
Replacing shocks in matched pairs is recommended for balanced ride and handling. This listing is for one shock, so order the quantity your vehicle needs.
What are signs a shock may need replacing?
Common signs include excessive bounce, poor ride control, fluid leaking from the shock, or uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing, as symptoms can have other sources.
