Firm up damping and steering response with the KYB shock absorber KG5514, a high-pressure monotube Gas-a-just gas shock. It's a direct-fit replacement across a wide range of applications, including the 1955-1957 Ford Thunderbird, 1961-1968 Volvo 122, 1961-1973 Volvo 1800, 1971-1980 Ford Pinto, 1975-1980 Mercury Bobcat, 1985-1999 Chevrolet P30 and 1985-1999 GMC P3500. It's cataloged for both front and rear positions depending on the application — check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the correct position for your vehicle.
High-pressure monotube design: separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response, and won't fade due to aeration.
Two working chambers: an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for control, plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston.
Up to 25% more damping over original-equipment shocks, with components and valving designed specifically for heavy-duty trucks that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
Triple chrome-plated piston rod: ultra-smooth surface helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
The higher gas pressure responds quickly to help improve steering response and helps keep electronic safety systems performing as the vehicle manufacturer intended.
