KYB Gas-a-Just Rear Shock Absorber for 2014–2017 Ford Transit Connect, Part Number 5550027

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 designed to deliver responsive handling, consistent control, and improved suspension performance for select 2014–2017 Ford Transit Connect models. KYB Gas-a-Just technology uses a monotube design with two separate working chambers: an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for precise response, plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas chamber with a floating piston.

This design allows the KYB Gas-a-Just shock absorber to automatically adjust to changing driving conditions. It helps provide a comfortable ride during normal driving while delivering additional control when the vehicle experiences increased load transfer, rough road conditions, or more demanding maneuvers. The monotube configuration also helps prevent performance fade caused by aeration, supporting consistent damping over extended use.

Electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires operating as the vehicle manufacturer intended. By helping maintain controlled suspension movement, the KYB Gas-a-Just supports the proper operation of electronic safety systems. This rear shock absorber is engineered as a direct-fit replacement for applicable Ford Transit Connect applications and is identified by KYB part number 5550027. Verify the vehicle year, configuration, and suspension position before installation.
