KYB Shocks & Struts Gas-A-Just Rear BUICK Skyhawk 1982-86 BUICK Skyhawk 1984-89 BUICK Skylark 1986 B

KYB is well-known for making reliable suspension components. This Gas-A-Just rear shock absorber, part number KG4536, is built with a monotube design that offers a step up in performance and control compared to standard twin-tube shocks. It's designed to fit a range of vehicles, including models like the Buick Skyhawk, Chevrolet Cavalier, and Pontiac Grand Am.

The monotube construction means this shock has two separate working chambers. One chamber contains the hydraulic piston and valve system, which adjusts instantly to your driving needs for better responsiveness. The other chamber holds high-pressure nitrogen gas with a floating piston. This setup ensures a comfortable ride during everyday driving but provides added performance when you need it, without experiencing fade.

When you're installing these shocks, KYB recommends replacing your strut mounts at the same time. They suggest using their part number SM5010 for new strut mounts to help reduce the chance of noise and vibration down the road.
