What vehicles does the KYB KG5508 fit?
It's a rear-position direct-fit for the 1965-1970 Buick Electra and LeSabre, 1971-1976 Cadillac Calais and DeVille, 1965-1968 Oldsmobile 98, 1967-1968 Delmont 88, and 1965-1968 Delta 88. Check the Buyer's Guide tab.
Is this a monotube or twin-tube shock?
It's a high-pressure monotube gas shock. The design separates the gas and oil, which helps provide fade-free operation and instant response.
How much damping does the Gas-a-just add?
KYB states it adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks, with additional damping for vehicles that work, tow, or run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
What are signs my rear shocks may need replacing?
Common signs include excessive bouncing, a floaty or unstable ride, bottoming out over bumps, uneven tire wear, or visible fluid leaking from the shock body.
Should I replace shocks in pairs?
This listing is for one shock. Replacing the rear shocks as a pair is recommended for balanced, even damping across the axle.
