This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Is the KYB shock absorber KG5517 a front or rear unit?
It is cataloged for the REAR position on the listed applications. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm the fit for your specific vehicle.
What makes the Gas-a-just monotube different from a twin-tube shock?
Its high-pressure monotube design keeps the nitrogen gas and oil separated in two working chambers for fade-free operation and instant response, an advantage KYB cites over the traditional twin-tube design.
Will this KYB gas shock absorber fit a 1964-1973 Ford Mustang?
Yes, the 1964-1973 Ford Mustang is on the fitment list for the rear position. Always verify your year and model against the "Vehicles it fits" section before ordering.
Does the KYB shock absorber price cover one shock or a pair?
Check the quantity shown on this listing before ordering. Replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for even, balanced ride control.
What are common signs a rear shock may need replacing?
Excessive bouncing after bumps, a floaty or unsettled ride, uneven tire wear, or visible fluid leaking from the shock body. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
