KYB 554384 Gas-a-Just Gas Shock, Silver

2013 Veloster base dct. OMG been considering a rear torsion bar for a year. Now bought these instead for less cost than a bar. These shocks solved almost all of the rear end jumping out of line on bumps, causing twitchy steering. Hated it for a long time. Even replaced old rear shock absorbers with factory ones, still had the same problem. Just took a 40 min drive. And they aren't too stiff by any means for a lightweight car like this. Holy cow so much better. Hopefully longevity is good. Considering kyb front struts. I also carry a 120lb sound system in the trunk. These do awesome with that too. Night and day difference. 2 year update: still BETTER than new factory absorbers. BUT broke in very well now the steering issue partially came back...Not to the point of complete frustration like before. Still satisfied enoigh with the price for how much of the issue is resolved.

2017 Kia Forte5 LX. One of the reasons I decided to replace my rear shocks at 62,000 miles was because my OEM shocks were no longer able to safely hold the load of 4 passengers. The other reason, of course, was for better performance overall when I drive. My car now seems to brake and accelerate faster, react to steering inputs quicker, and turn out of corners easier without losing traction on the inside wheels. And as other Hyundai/Kia owners have stated, I also feel like I should have swapped the rear shocks out with KYBs much sooner.

Installed two rear KYB #554384 Gas-A-Just Shocks on a 2015 Kia Forte5 SX with 54,000 miles. Same rear suspension as a Hyundai Elantra and Veloster. BIG improvement in the ride: much less rear end hop and crashing noises over bumps, less stepping sideways, quieter inside. I wish I had installed these 30k miles ago. These shocks are a huge improvement over the stock units and are a very inexpensive upgrade at ANY MILAGE. Easy 30 to 45 minute installation if you have: a floor jack, jack stands, torque wrench and a rubber mallet. There are a couple of YouTube videos that step you through the process or buy a pair of these and point your mechanic to the videos. We’ll see how they last. Highly recommended.

This is a must upgrade over factory shocks. KYB provides stability and control that is noticeable for safer driving control. You can and will bottom out on dips or humps in the road but far and few between with this upgrade.

I own a 2014 Hyundai Elantra Limited with a 1.8 liter engine. I currently have 25,090 miles on it. I noticed at around 24,000 miles the rear suspension would crash over bumps and road imperfections. Especially when merging onto a freeway on a curving on ramp. Hit a bump, fish tail. I read up on the problem with other Elantra owners.They all seemed to be experiencing the same issue. So I decided to purchase these KYB's. The difference is phenomenal! My Elantra drives even better than it did when it was new. I don't want you to think that I am bashing on this vehicle. Keep in mind, that all vehicles have an Achilles heal. The factory gas shocks were never strong out the door, but these KYB's do the trick, and do it RIGHT!! For all of you do-it-yourselfers, the fix is quick and easy. I HIGHLY recommend you getting these shocks for your Elantra. You will immediately notice the difference. Rail road tracks? Over them with ease. Minor Road imperfections? no sweat!! Hope this review helps. Rafael

Replaced the mediocre stock rear shocks on a 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT (and no, these don't come up as a replaceable component on this model). Fit perfectly. 45 minutes total, two bolts each shock, and now I've pretty much lost the rocky bump. Suspension is stiffer, but in a good way. Straight on bumps disappear and the one-rear-wheel bumps result in very little rocking. GREAT, inexpensive way to fix the sad stock rear suspension.

Huge! Huge! Difference from OEM brand new! Money well spent! Highly recommend!!

These KYB Gas-a-just gas shocks are the way to go! I bought a pair for my 2015 Hyundai Elantra SE, that currently has 104,000 miles. I notice the difference as soon as I went for a test drive after I installed them myself! Before I installed these shocks, the rear suspension felt like it was bottoming out over bumps that didn't seem too bad. After I installed them the ride was smoother, even over speed bumps and rough roads. I could tell that the back end of my car was more stiff. I'm really considering changing my front struts to the KYB brand!

Definitely improves handling on 2016 Elantra GT GLS. I replaced the old shocks after 180K kms but I’m convinced these shocks provide better handling than the OEMs did when I got the car new. They give smoother ride even on this old car and most importantly: fix those nasty rear tracking issues on bumpy curves. Should have done it earlier!

Magnífica mejora para el desempeño de mi Forte 2018, adiós sufrir por la topes y el eje trasero nervioso en carretera.

Hola buen día, hasta ahora los amortiguadores han superado mis expectativas,creo que es muy pronto como para sacar una conclusión definitiva pero hasta ahorita he sentido una gran mejoría a comparación con Los originales, estaban a un súper precio con un 72% de descuento, vale mucho la pena...

Solid product and investment. Found this significant upgrade on YouTube and couldn't be happier. OEM rear suspension was garbage and would not handle an adequate load. Almost an immediate give on the OEM shock as you would put your weight on it. The KYB? Not so much. Having the two parts side by side, one could clearly see a difference in build quality. If you drive an Elantra, this is a must have and you will not regret this purchase.

People saying they did not notice much difference....there is a night and day change.I live on a bumpy road and these shocks are great on 2013 Elantra Gls.The car feels so much better and handles completely different than factory shock. 2 Thumbs up......
