KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:KG5456
Firm up your rear ride with the KYB Gas-a-just Shock Absorber KG5562, a high-pressure monotube gas shock that installs as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1982-2002 Chevrolet Camaro, 1953-1962 Chevrolet Corvette, and 1982-2002 Pontiac Firebird. This KYB shock absorber uses a monotube design with components and valving developed specifically for GM performance cars, giving these applications added damping for vehicles that work, tow, or run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
KYB notes that its Gas-a-just helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed, since those systems depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires. Sold individually; order 2 for a complete rear-axle replacement, and replace both sides together for balanced damping.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What vehicles does the KYB shock absorber KG5562 fit?
It is a rear direct-fit replacement for the 1982-2002 Chevrolet Camaro, 1953-1962 Chevrolet Corvette, and 1982-2002 Pontiac Firebird. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact vehicle.
Is this a monotube or twin-tube shock?
This KYB gas shock absorber is a high-pressure monotube design. Separating the gas and oil helps provide fade-free operation and instant response versus a traditional twin-tube design.
Does one KG5562 cover both rear wheels?
No. It is sold individually, so this listing is for one shock. Order 2 and replace both rear sides together as a matched pair for even, balanced damping.
What does the triple chrome plated piston rod do?
Because fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure, the ultra-smooth triple chrome plated rod is designed to reduce seal wear during operation.
How much added damping does the Gas-a-just provide?
KYB states the Gas-a-just adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks, with higher gas pressure that helps improve steering response.
