Smooth out the ride and restore firm damping with the KYB Gas-a-just Shock Absorber KG5548, a KYB shock absorber engineered as a high-pressure monotube gas unit for the rear of a long list of GM A- and G-body cars. It's a direct-fit replacement for applications including the 1978-1987 Buick Regal, 1978-1987 Chevrolet El Camino, 1978-1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 1978-1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, 1978-1987 Pontiac Grand Prix and the 1987-1988 Avanti II — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 19 applications.

  • High-pressure monotube design: separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
  • Gas-a-just performance: adds up to 25% more damping over original equipment shocks, with valving designed specifically for GM cars.
  • Triple chrome-plated piston rod: an ultra-smooth rod that helps reduce 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.

Signs a shock may need replacing include excessive bounce, nose-dive under braking and poor ride control. Sold individually; replacing both shocks on the same axle together is recommended for balanced damping.
