Detailed Product Description

The KYB KG5507 shock absorber features a compressed length of 13.54 inches and an extended length of 21.89 inches, with a stroke length of 8.74 inches, making it suitable for specific suspension setups on older GM vehicles. The lower mount uses an E1 type, while the upper mount is an E3 type with dimensions 61.6x87x20 mm, ensuring proper fitment and secure installation. A dust cover is included to protect the piston rod from dirt and debris, extending the service life of the shock absorber.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Restores ride comfort and reduces excessive bouncing on Buick LeSabre and Chevrolet Caprice
• Improves handling stability for Cadillac Fleetwood and Pontiac Bonneville

• Reduces body roll and sway in Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac GTO

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported before removing the old shock absorber. Verify the mount types (E1 lower and E3 upper) match the vehicle’s suspension points. The included dust cover should be positioned correctly to protect the piston rod. No internal rebound spring or bump stops are present, so no additional components are required during installation. It is recommended to replace shocks in pairs for balanced performance.
