KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:553333

Description

Keep your PT Cruiser planted with the KYB Gas-a-just Monotube Shock Absorber 553333, a rear-position gas shock that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser. Its components and valving are designed specifically for the PT Cruiser, so it helps deliver firm, controlled damping when the original rear shock is worn.

The Gas-a-just is a high-pressure monotube design with two separate 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 a comfortable ride during normal driving and added performance on demand.

High-pressure monotube: separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
Extra damping: adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks.
Higher gas pressure: responds quickly to help improve steering response.
Triple chrome-plated piston rod: ultra-smooth surface reduces seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.

KYB notes the Gas-a-just helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed, since those systems depend on the suspension, brakes and tires operating as the vehicle manufacturer intended.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this shock fit my vehicle?

It is a direct-fit rear shock absorber for the 2001-2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the fit for your specific vehicle.

What position does this shock install in?

This is a rear-position shock absorber. KYB designed its components and valving specifically for the PT Cruiser.

What is a monotube gas shock?

It uses a single high-pressure tube that separates the nitrogen gas and oil into distinct chambers, which supports fade-free operation and instant response versus twin-tube designs.

What are signs my rear shock may need replacing?

Common signs include excessive bouncing over bumps, reduced ride control, uneven tire wear, or visible fluid leaking from the shock body. Diagnose the cause before replacing.

How does the 25% more damping help?

KYB states the Gas-a-just adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks, which can benefit vehicles that carry loads, tow, or run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
