Refresh the ride and body control on your classic muscle or full-size Ford with the KYB shock absorber Gas-a-just KG5526, a high-pressure monotube gas shock for the rear position. It fits the 1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro and 1970-1981 Pontiac Firebird, plus the 1957-1958 Ford Country Sedan, Country Squire, Fairlane, Ranchero and Skyliner — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Monotube gas design: two separate working chambers — an air-free hydraulic piston/valve area for responsiveness and control, and a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston — so it resists fade from aeration.
Extra damping: Gas-a-just monotubes add damping over OE design for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels; KYB states up to 25% more damping performance than original equipment shocks.
Triple chrome-plated piston rod: an ultra-smooth rod reduces seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
Quick response: the higher gas pressure responds quickly to help improve steering response, and helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.
Components and valving are designed specifically for classic domestic cars. Sold individually; replace the rear shocks as a matched pair for balanced ride control.
