KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:KG5561
$61.99

Firm up a tired back end with the KYB shock absorber KG5561, a High Pressure Monotube Gas (Gas-a-Just) unit that installs as a direct-fit rear shock for the 1982-1986 Toyota Celica and the 1983-1988 Toyota Cressida. This monotube design separates the gas and oil so the shock resists fade and responds instantly, while its components and valving are designed specifically for Toyotas. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.

  • Monotube gas design: An air-free hydraulic piston and valve chamber handles control, while a separate high-pressure nitrogen chamber with a floating piston keeps the ride comfortable during normal driving and adds damping on demand.
  • Up to 25% more damping: Adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks, with extra damping for vehicles that work, tow, or run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
  • Fade-free operation: Separating gas and oil helps prevent aeration, and the higher gas pressure helps improve steering response.
  • Triple chrome-plated rod: An ultra-smooth triple chrome plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.

This is a rear shock; for even, balanced damping it's best to replace both rear shocks together as a matched pair. Sold individually.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicles does the KYB KG5561 shock absorber fit?

It is a direct-fit rear shock for the 1982-1986 Toyota Celica and the 1983-1988 Toyota Cressida. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm fitment for your vehicle.

Is this a KYB gas shock absorber or a twin-tube design?

It's a KYB gas shock absorber with a high-pressure monotube (Gas-a-Just) design that separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.

How is the KYB gas shock absorber Excel G or Gas-a-Just different here?

This KG5561 is the Gas-a-Just monotube line, which adds up to 25% more damping over OE and includes extra damping for vehicles that work, tow, or run larger, heavier tires.

Do I need to replace shocks in pairs?

It's sold individually, but for even, balanced damping it's best practice to replace both rear shocks together as a matched pair.

What does the triple chrome-plated piston rod do?

The ultra-smooth triple chrome plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear. Since fluid leaking can cause shock failure, that helps protect the seal over time.
