This product line emphasizes consistent damping force and durability, making it suitable for drivers seeking to maintain factory suspension performance. The KG5550 shock absorber is part of this line, offering a balance of ride comfort and road feedback.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Description and Attributes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe KG5550 shock absorber features a compressed length of 12.01 inches and an extended length of 19.29 inches, providing a stroke length of 7.28 inches. Both the upper and lower mounts use the S1 type, ensuring compatibility with specific vehicle suspension setups. The inclusion of a dust cover helps protect the piston rod from debris and extends the service life of the shock. The B-stop feature limits compression travel to prevent damage under heavy load or impact conditions. This shock absorber does not include an internal rebound spring or an R-stop, which may be relevant for certain suspension designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications and Problem Solving\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestores proper damping for worn or leaking shocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces excessive body roll and improves vehicle stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimizes harshness and vibration from road irregularities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrevents bottoming out with B-stop compression control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtects suspension components with included dust cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the KYB Gas-a-just KG5550 shock absorber, ensure the S1 upper and lower mounts align correctly with the vehicle’s suspension points.
