Rear Shock Absorber for 1964-1973 Ford Mustang & More - KYB KG5517

Firm up worn rear damping with the KYB shock absorber KG5517, a Gas-a-just high-pressure monotube gas shock for cars and trucks that installs in the REAR position. It's a direct-fit replacement for many classics and work vehicles, among them the 1964-1973 Ford Mustang and 1985-1999 Chevrolet P30 — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.

• High-pressure monotube design: keeps the nitrogen gas and oil separated for fade-free operation and instant response, and won't fade from aeration like a traditional twin-tube.
• Two working chambers: an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for control, plus a high-pressure nitrogen area with a floating piston for a comfortable ride during normal driving.
• Triple chrome-plated piston rod: ultra-smooth to reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
• Vehicle-specific valving: components and valving designed specifically for your vehicle; KYB states it adds up to 25% more damping over OE, with extra damping for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.

The higher gas pressure of this KYB gas shock absorber responds quickly to help improve steering response and helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.
