KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:KG5573

Firm up body control and smooth out the ride on your classic GM luxury coupe with the KYB Gas-a-just High Pressure Monotube Gas Shock (MPN KG5573). This rear shock absorber drops in as an OE monotube replacement for the 1979-1985 Buick Riviera, 1979-1985 Cadillac Eldorado, 1980-1985 Cadillac Seville, and 1979-1985 Oldsmobile Toronado, with components and valving designed specifically for classic GM cars.

• Twin-chamber monotube design: an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas chamber with a floating piston for a comfortable ride during normal driving.
• Up to 25% more damping than original equipment shocks, with additional damping over the OE design for vehicles that work, tow, or run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
• Gas and oil separated: the high-pressure monotube layout keeps them apart for fade-free operation and instant response, and the higher gas pressure is designed to improve steering response.
• Triple chrome-plated piston rod: an ultra-smooth surface helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.

KYB notes the Gas-a-just also helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed, since they depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires operating as the vehicle manufacturer intended.
