Product Description

The KYB KG5501 Gas-A-Just Rear Shock Absorber is engineered to restore and improve rear suspension performance on classic 1963-1982 Chevrolet Corvette models. Featuring KYB's high-pressure monotube Gas-A-Just technology, this shock provides more consistent damping and better handling control than traditional twin-tube designs, helping enhance stability, reduce body roll, and improve steering response at highway speeds and during spirited driving.

Designed as a direct replacement for rear monotube shocks, the KG5501 installs easily without modifications and is sold individually - but replacing both rear shocks in matched pairs is recommended for balanced suspension performance. Its durable construction and gas-charge design help maintain performance and ride quality whether you're cruising classic car shows or driving on longer trips. Always verify exact fitment for your vehicle's year and model before installation.
