Tame body motion and keep your suspension responsive with the KYB Gas-a-just Shock Absorber KG5562, a high-pressure monotube gas shock for the rear position. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1982-2002 Chevrolet Camaro, 1953-1962 Chevrolet Corvette, and 1982-2002 Pontiac Firebird — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Monotube gas design: Separates the high-pressure nitrogen gas from the oil for fade-free operation and instant response, with an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for control plus a floating-piston gas chamber for ride comfort.
Extra damping: Gas-a-just monotubes add damping over OE design for vehicles that work, tow, or run larger, heavier tires and wheels — up to 25% more damping performance than original-equipment shocks.
Smoother rod: A triple-chrome-plated piston rod runs ultra-smooth to help reduce seal wear, since fluid leakage is a common cause of shock failure.
Steering feel: The higher gas pressure responds quickly to help improve steering response, and helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed.
Its components and valving are designed specifically for GM performance cars. Signs a rear shock may need replacing include a bouncy or wallowing ride, excessive body roll, uneven tire wear, or fluid leaking from the shock body.
