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.

  • High-pressure monotube design: separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
  • Two working chambers: an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston for ride comfort during normal driving.
  • Triple chrome plated piston rod: an ultra-smooth rod that reduces seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
  • Up to 25% more damping: higher gas pressure over original equipment shocks helps improve steering response.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
