Replacement Shock

The KYB Replacement Shock (Model 5550013) is a gas-charged monotube rear suspension component engineered for 2015–2024 Ford Transit vehicles. This shock absorber restores ride quality, load-handling capacity, and braking stability on vans that spend their lives hauling cargo or passengers over varied road surfaces. Designed as a direct-fit replacement, it addresses wear in OEM suspension systems without requiring frame modifications or complex fitment procedures.

This KYB shock utilizes a gas-charged monotube design, which pressurizes internal nitrogen to prevent aeration and maintain consistent damping under sustained braking and dynamic loading—critical for commercial vans that experience frequent stop-and-go cycles. The steel body is finished in durable silver paint to resist corrosion in harsh underbody environments. At 6.65 lbs and measuring 26 inches in length, the unit is engineered to fit the rear axle geometry of the Ford Transit chassis while delivering responsive damping that controls body roll and improves driver confidence during cornering and emergency maneuvers.

Fleet managers, owner-operators, and DIY technicians benefit most from this replacement shock when their Transit exhibits excessive bouncing, nose-diving on braking, or uneven tire wear—all signs of worn rear dampers. Installation is straightforward on a vehicle lift, requiring only basic tools and a few minutes per side. This shock is sold individually, so purchasing a pair ensures balanced rear suspension performance and is recommended for optimal handling and safety across all Ford Transit model years within the 2015–2024 range.
