What vehicles does this KYB KG6796 shock fit?

What position is this shock absorber for?
This KYB Gas-a-just is a rear shock absorber for the listed Jaguar applications.
What is a high-pressure monotube gas shock?
It uses a single tube with two working chambers — an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area, plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston that separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation.
How much damping does the Gas-a-just add over OE?
KYB states the Gas-a-just adds up to 25% more damping performance over original-equipment shocks, with additional damping for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
What are signs my rear shocks may need replacing?
Excessive body motion, bouncing, reduced ride control, or fluid leaking from the shock may indicate wear. Have the suspension diagnosed, as symptoms can have other causes.
