Key Features:

KYB MonoMax Shocks 565104 incorporate advanced technology and durable materials to ensure long-lasting performance and enhanced vehicle control. Key features include:

• Heavy-Duty Monotube Design: Provides superior stability and control, especially for trucks and SUVs with higher center of gravity.
• High-Pressure Gas Charge: Separates oil and gas to prevent foaming, delivering consistent, fade-free damping under extreme conditions.
• Work-Ready Zinc-Coated Stainless Steel Piston Ring: Ensures a secure seal to maintain optimal shock performance and prevent fluid leaks.
• Triple Chrome-Plated Piston Rod: Ultra-smooth surface reduces seal wear and enhances durability for extended service life.
• Robust Rubber Dust Boot: Protects the shock shaft from dirt, debris, and rocks, preventing premature wear.
• Up to 40% More Damping Power: Compared to original equipment twin-tube shocks, ideal for vehicles with larger tires and wheels.

Construction & Design:

The KYB MonoMax shocks feature a rugged monotube construction designed to withstand the harshest driving conditions. The high-pressure gas charge inside the monotube separates oil and gas, eliminating shock fade and maintaining consistent damping performance. The piston ring is zinc-coated stainless steel, providing a durable seal that prevents leaks and extends shock life.

The piston rod is triple chrome-plated for a smooth finish that minimizes seal wear and resists corrosion. A thick rubber dust boot shields the shaft from contaminants, ensuring reliable operation over time. These design elements combine to deliver a shock absorber that is both tough and dependable for heavy-duty applications.
