Firm up the ride and keep the rear wheels planted with the KYB Gas-a-just Suspension Shock Absorber KG5521, a high-pressure monotube gas shock for the rear position. It fits a wide range of classic and full-size applications, including the 1968-1969 Chevrolet Camaro, 1968-1969 Pontiac Firebird, 1968-1970 AMC AMX, 1992-2002 Ford Crown Victoria, 1990-2002 Lincoln Town Car and 1979-2002 Mercury Grand Marquis — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.

  • Monotube gas design: Separates the gas and oil to resist fade for fade-free operation and instant response, with an air-free hydraulic piston-and-valve chamber plus a high-pressure nitrogen chamber and floating piston.
  • Triple chrome-plated piston rod: Ultra-smooth surface helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
  • Improved response: Higher gas pressure responds quickly to help improve steering response, and adds up to 25% more damping performance over original-equipment shocks.
  • Built for the job: Components and valving designed specifically for classic muscle cars, with added damping for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.

Sold individually; replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced ride control.

Frequently Asked Questions

What position does the KG5521 shock fit?

It is a rear-position suspension shock absorber. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the application for your specific vehicle.

What is a monotube gas shock?

It uses a single tube with separate high-pressure nitrogen gas and oil chambers divided by a floating piston, which separates gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.

How does the Gas-a-just improve performance?

Its higher gas pressure responds quickly to help improve steering response and adds up to 25% more damping performance over original-equipment shocks.

Do I need to replace both rear shocks?

Shocks are sold individually, and this listing is for one. Replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced, even ride control.

What does the chrome-plated piston rod do?

The ultra-smooth triple chrome-plated rod helps reduce seal wear. Because fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure, reduced seal wear supports longer service.
