KYB KG5563 Suspension Shock Absorber - Rear

KYB Gas-a-Just Rear Shock for Chrysler and Dodge

The KYB Gas-a-just KG5563 is a rear monotube shock absorber built for Chrysler and Dodge applications that need firmer control and consistent damping. It uses a high-pressure gas design to separate oil and gas, helping maintain response during normal driving and under heavier load conditions.

For drivers searching for a rear shock absorber for Chrysler LeBaron, Dodge Daytona, or Plymouth Reliant, the KG5563 delivers a direct-fit performance upgrade with OE-style mounting points and application-specific valving.

• Up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks
• Application-specific valving for Chrysler and Dodge rear suspension setups
• High gas pressure improves steering response and suspension control
• Triple chrome plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear and fluid leakage
• Dust cover included
• Lower mount type: E2(10X41)
• Upper mount type: E2(10X41)

Product Details

The KYB Gas-a-just line is designed for vehicles that work harder than a standard commuter car, including models that tow, carry added weight, or run larger wheels and tires. The KG5563 uses a monotube layout with an air-free hydraulic working area and a separate high-pressure nitrogen chamber, allowing the shock to react quickly while maintaining ride comfort in everyday driving. This part number, KG5563, is a rear suspension shock absorber engineered for consistent control on older Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth platforms.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 5962 and Gabriel 69632 for the same application.

What This Shock Absorber Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce after bumps or dips
• Reduced damping control from worn OE shocks
• Rear-end instability during braking or cornering
• Loss of response on vehicles carrying added load
• Fluid leakage associated with shock wear
