What is the KYB Gas-a-just KG5522?
It's a high-pressure monotube gas shock absorber for the rear of the listed cars and trucks, using an air-free hydraulic piston area for control and a high-pressure nitrogen chamber with a floating piston.
Where does this shock install?
The catalog lists it as a rear-position shock absorber for the applications shown in the Buyer's Guide.
Why choose this KYB gas shock absorber over a twin-tube?
The monotube design separates the gas and oil so it resists fade due to aeration and responds instantly, unlike a traditional twin-tube shock.
How much damping does it add?
KYB rates the Gas-a-just at up to 25% more damping than original equipment shocks, with additional damping for vehicles that work, tow, or run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
Are these sold individually or in pairs?
This listing is for one shock. Replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced ride and handling.
