KYB KG5575 Shock Absorber - Rear

KYB Gas-a-Just Rear Shock for Taurus and Sable

The KYB Gas-a-just KG5575 is a rear suspension shock absorber built for 2000-2005 Ford Taurus and 2000-2005 Mercury Sable applications. Its monotube design delivers quick response, consistent damping, and added control for vehicles that work harder, tow, or run larger wheels and tires.

For drivers searching for a rear shock absorber for Ford Taurus or Mercury Sable, the Gas-a-just line adds performance-focused damping without giving up everyday ride quality. Part number KG5575 is engineered for direct rear fitment on these vehicles.

Key Features

• Monotube shock design with separate gas and oil chambers for fade-resistant operation
• Adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks
• Higher gas pressure improves steering response and suspension control
• Triple chrome plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear and fluid leakage
• Designed specifically for Taurus and Sable rear suspension applications
• Dust cover included
• B-stop and R-stop included in the design

Product Details

KYB Gas-a-just shocks use an air-free hydraulic working area for responsiveness and a high-pressure nitrogen gas chamber with a floating piston for consistent force delivery. That construction helps the shock react quickly when suspension demand increases, while maintaining a controlled ride during normal driving. The KG5575 is a rear shock absorber with a compressed length of 15.19 inches, extended length of 21.06 inches, and stroke length of 5.86 inches. It uses a special lower mount and an S1 (12MM) upper mount.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 5971 and Gabriel 69962 for the same application. If you are replacing worn rear shocks on a Ford Taurus or Mercury Sable, KG5575 provides a direct-fit solution for the rear suspension.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear-end bounce over bumps and dips
• Reduced control during braking, cornering, or lane changes
• Shock fade from heat and aeration during repeated suspension movement
• Loose or unsettled ride quality on higher-load vehicles
• Delayed response from worn OE rear shocks

Installation Notes

Fits 2000-2005 Ford Taurus, rear. Fits 2000-2005 Mercury Sable, rear. Verify mount style and dimensions before installation, including the special lower mount and S1 (12MM) upper mount. Use the vehicle’s rear suspension configuration and service procedures to confirm proper alignment and torque during replacement.

Quality Assurance

KYB is known for suspension components engineered to match vehicle-specific requirements. The Gas-a-just monotube design separates gas and oil to maintain consistent damping response, and the triple chrome plated piston rod is used to help reduce seal wear over time. Part number KG5575 is built for rear suspension service on the listed Taurus and Sable applications.
