KYB Gas-a-Just Monotube Rear Shock Absorber KG5526

The KYB Gas-a-just monotube shock absorber has additional performance advantages over the traditional twin-tube design: It can instantly, automatically adjust to your performance needs and never experiences fade due to aeration. The KYB Gas-a-just has two separate working chambers: An air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, and a second high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston that provides a comfortable ride during normal driving and adds instant performance on demand.

• Electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes and tires operating as the vehicle manufacturer intended. The KYB Gas-a-just helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed.

The KYB Gas-a-Just monotube rear shock absorber is engineered to provide responsive handling, improved suspension control, and consistent performance for compatible classic vehicles. Part number KG5526 uses a monotube design with separate hydraulic and high-pressure nitrogen chambers to help the shock respond quickly to changing road and driving conditions.

The air-free hydraulic piston and valve area supports precise damping and control, while the floating piston separates the hydraulic fluid from the high-pressure nitrogen gas. This design helps reduce aeration and virtually eliminates performance fade caused by foaming during demanding driving. The result is a controlled ride during normal operation with additional damping performance available when needed.

KYB Gas-a-Just shock absorbers can also help support the operation of electronic safety systems by maintaining suspension control as intended by the vehicle manufacturer. This automotive shock absorber is intended for rear suspension applications and should be matched to the vehicle's exact year, make, model, and suspension configuration before installation.

Fitment: Compatible applications include select 1977–1981 Pontiac Firebird models, along with additional Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Country Sedan, and other vehicle applications listed by the manufacturer. Verify complete fitment before purchase.
